The ages of A and B are in the ratio 6:5 and the sum of their ages is 44 years. What will be the ratio of their ages after 8 years?

Answer: A

Let the present age of A and B be 5 \(x\) and 6 \(x\) respectively.

Therefore, According to problem,

5 \(x\) + 6 \(x\) = 44

\(\Rightarrow \) \(11x=44\)

\(\Rightarrow \) \(x =4\)

Present ages of A and B are 20 and 24 respectively.

After 8 years,

Ages of A and B are (20+8) and (24+8)

A = 28 years and B=32 years
