    The combined present ages of Ramesh and Suresh amount to 68

    years, while the sum of Ramesh and Vivek's current ages is 82 years. Additionally, in 10 years, the age ratio of Ramesh to Vivek will be 25:26. Find the Suresh's present age.
    A 52 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 18 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 28 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 50 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Cannot be determined Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sum of ages of Ramesh and Vivek after 10 years = 82 + 10 × 2 = 102 years
    So, age of Ramesh after 10 years = [25/(25 + 26)] × 102 = 50 years
    Therefore, present age of Suresh = 68 – (50 – 10) = 28 years
