The present ages of Vikas and Sujit are in the ratio of 5 : 4 respectively. Three years hence, the ratio of their ages will become 11 : 9 respectively.

What is Sujit’s present age in years ?

According to question,

$\frac{(5 x+3)}{(4 x+3)}=\frac{11}{9}$

$\Rightarrow 45 x+27=44 x+33$

$\Rightarrow 45 x-44 x=33-27$

$\Rightarrow x=6$

∴ Present age of Sujit = 4x years

= 4 × 6 = 24 years
