Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let the age of A and B 10 yr before were 13x yr and 17x yr, respectively.
Then, present age of A = 13x + 10
and present age of B = 17x + 10
According to the question,
Then, |
13x + 10 + 17 |
= |
10 |
17x + 10 + 17 |
13 |
|
13x + 27 |
= |
10 |
17x + 27 |
11 |
143x + 297 = 170x + 2700
27x = 27
x = 1
Hence, present age of B = 17 x 1
= 27 yr
