Present ages of Sameer and Anand are in the ratio of 5 : 4 respectively. Three years hence, the ratio of their ages will become 11 : 9 respectively. What is Anand's present age in years? Pick one.
A) 14	B) 16	C) 15	D) 23	E) 24
Given, the preset ratio of the ages of Sameer and Anand is 5:4   Let Age of Sameer/5 = Age of Anand/4= x   Present age of Sameer = 5x   Present age of Anand = 4x   After 3 years,   Age of Sameer woud be 5x+3   Age of Anand woud be 4x+3   So (5x+3)/(4x+3)= 119   = x = 6   Hence age of Anand will be 6X4 = 24 years.
