At present, the ratio between the ages of Arun and Deepak is 4 : 3. After 6 years, Arun's age will be 26 years. What is the age of Deepak at present?

Options

A. 12 years
B. 15 years
C. `19(1)/(2)` years
D. 25 years

Answer

B

Explanation

Suppose the present age of Arun = 4x years
Present age of Deepak = 3x years After 6 years
Arun.s age = 4x + 6 = 26
= 4x = 26 - 6
`:.x=(20)/(4)=5`
Therefore, the present age of Deepak = 3x years
`=3xx5=15` years
