    E 3:4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let my age 18 years ago be x years My grandmotherтАЩs age at that time = 9 x years My present age = (x + 18) years My grandmotherтАЩs present age = (9 x + 18) years According to question 3(x + 18 + 9) = (9 x + 18 + 9) 3 x + 81 = 9 x + 27 9 x - 3 x = 81 тАУ 27┬а 6 x = 54 x = 9┬а Now, ratio of ages 9 years ago = (x +┬а 18 -9┬а )/(9x +18 - 9) = (9 +┬а 18 - 9)/(9 ├Ч 9 + 18-9 )=18/90 = 1:5
