1. 4
2. 5
3. 6
4. 8
5. none of the above

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 4

Given:

Age of Isha = 24 years

Age of Nisha = 38 years

Ratio of ages of Isha and Nisha after ‘t’ years = 2 : 3

Calculation:

According to the question,

⇒ (24 + t)/(38 + t) = 2 : 3

⇒ 72 + 3t = 76 + 2t

⇒ t = 4

∴ The value of ‘t’ is 4 years.
