Age of Raghu is 3 years more than four times the age of Hemant at present. Five years from now, age of Raghu will be 1 year more than thrice the age of Hemant. What is the age of Raghu at present?
Explanation:
Let present age of Hemant be h, hence present age of Raghu will be (4h + 3).
After 5 years their ages will be (h + 5) and (4h + 8) respectively. ⇒ (4h + 8) = 3(h + 5) + 1 ⇒ 4h + 8 = 3h + 15 + 1 ⇒ h = 8
∴ Present age of Raghu = 4h + 3 = 35
Hence, option (b).
