The ratio of ages of Amit and Bhavna is 5:3. If Amit is 20 years older than Bhavna, what is Bhavna's present age?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Let Amit's age = 5x and Bhavna's age = 3x (from ratio 5:3). Step 2: Given that Amit is 20 years older than Bhavna, so 5x - 3x = 20. Step 3: Solving, 2x = 20, therefore x = 10. Step 4: Bhavna's age = 3x = 3(10) = 30 years.
