Answer is : 48 years Explanation: Let Mukesh's age = 2x   or Suresh's age =3x After 12 years, $\frac{2x+12}{3x+12} = \frac{11}{15}$ $(2x+12) \times 15 = (3x+12) \times 11$ $30x +180 =33x +132$ 48 = 3x x = 16 $\therefore \text{ The present age of Suresh will be : }3x$ $= 3 \times 16$ $= 48 \text{ yr}$ Nithin K ? answered Nov 26 '2016 at 19:37 All Comments
