The ratio between the ages of Kamla and Savita is 7 : 4 and the sum of their ages is 44 years. After 8 years, what will be the ratio in the ages of Savita and Kamla?
Verified Answer
A. 7:4
B. 4:7
C. 5:4
D. 2:3
Explanation:
Let Kamla's age be 7x and Savita's age be 4x. Their sum is 11x = 44, so x = 4. Kamla's current age is 7*4 = 28, Savita's is 4*4 = 16. After 8 years, Kamla will be 28+8 = 36 and Savita will be 16+8 = 24. The ratio of Savita's age to Kamla's age will be 24:36, which simplifies to 2:3.
