Ram's age and Shyam's age are in the ratio 3 : 4. Seven years ago the ratio of their ages was 2: 3. Find the ratio of their ages five years hence?
Choose the correct option:
A) 33:21  B) 44:44  C) 33:45  D) 26:33  E) 44:66
Let ages of Ramu and Shyamu be x and y respectively.   x/y = 3/4 =&gt; x = 3/4 y   Also (x - 7) / (y - 7) = 2/3   =&gt; 3x - 21 = 2y - 14   3x = 2y + 7   But x = 3/4 y   3 * 3/4 y = 2y + 7   9y = 8y + 28 =&gt; y = 28 years   Ratio of their ages five years hence   = (21 + 5) / (28 + 5) = 26/33.   Answer:26:33
