The present ages of three persons are in the proportion of 4 : 7 : 9. Eight years ago, the sum of their ages was 96. Find their present ages.	Choose the correct choice from the following choices: A) 24,42,54 B) 8,20,28 C) 16,28,36 D) 16,28,46 E) None of these
Let the present ages of three persons be 4K,7K and 9K respectively.   (4K - 8) + (7K - 8) + (9K - 8) = 96   20K = 120   K = 6   Therefore, then present ages are 24,42,54.   24,42,54NSWER:24,42,54
