Question 4 Back to Exercise

The present ages of two cousins are shown as a bar model. They differ by 12 years.

Present ages in the ratio 5 : 3
ElderYoungerElder − Younger = 12 years

What will be the sum of their ages in 6 years?

  • A 48
  • B 54
  • C 72
  • D 60 Correct
Correct Answer: Option D

2 blocks = 12 → 1 block = 6

Now: 30 and 18, sum 48

In 6 years both add 6: 48 + 12 = 60

Trap: 54 adds the 6 years only once.

Answer: 60
