    Tanya's grandfather was % times older to her 16 years ago. He would be 3 times of her age 8 years from now. Eight years ago, what was the ratio of Tanya's age to that of her grandfather?

    A)  \[1:2\]                          

    B)  \[1:5\]              

    C)         \[3:8\]               

    D)         None of these               

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    16 years ago, let T = x years and G = 8x years. After 8 years from now, \[T=(x+16+8)\]years and \[G=(8x+16+8)\]years. \[\therefore \]   \[8x+24=3(x+24)\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,5x=48\] 8 years ago \[\frac{T}{G}=\frac{x\times 8}{8x+8}=\frac{\frac{48}{5}+8}{8\times \frac{48}{5}+8}=\frac{88}{424}=\frac{11}{53}\]
