SSC MTS 14th July 2022 Shift-1

Let’s work through the problem:

- Ages of A and B are given in the ratio 3:5.

- A’s current age is 33 years.

- Ratio tells us: If A = 3x, then B = 5x.

- So, 3x = 33 ? x = 11.

- B’s present age = 5x = 5 × 11 = 55 years.

- B’s age after 5 years = 55 + 5 = 60 years.

- Option 2 says: 60.

So, the correct answer is Option:2, 60.
