The ratio of the present ages of Arman and Ankit is 2 : 1 and the sum of their present ages is 72 years. What will be the Aman's age (in years) after 6 years?
30 years
48 years
52 years
54 years
D.
54 years
Let Aman's present age = 2x years
Ankit's Present age = x years
According to the question,
2x + x = 72
3x = 72
x = 24
Aman's age after 6 years = 2 x 24 + 6 = 54 years
