Download Solution PDFGiven:
Shalu is younger than Ankur by 14 years.
Ratio of their ages is 3 : 5.
Formula used:
Let Shalu's age be 3x and Ankur's age be 5x.
Ankur's age - Shalu's age = 14 years
Calculations:
5x - 3x = 14
⇒ 2x = 14
⇒ x = 7
Shalu's age = 3x
⇒ Shalu's age = 3 × 7 = 21 years
∴ The correct answer is option 2.
