    Rajan got married 8 years ago. His present age is \[\frac{6}{5}\] times his age at the time of his marriage. Rajan's sister was 10 years younger to him at the time of his marriage. The age of Rajan's sister is:

    A)  32 years                      

    B)  36 years                      

    C)  38 years                      

    D)  40 years                      

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let Rajan's present age be x years. Then, his age at the time of marriage \[=(x-8)\] years. \[\therefore \] \[x=\frac{6}{5}(x-8)\Rightarrow 5x=6x-48\Rightarrow x=48.\] Rajan's sister's age at the time of his marriage \[=(x-8)-10=(x-18)=30\] years. \[\therefore \] Rajan's sister's present age \[=(30+8)\]years =38 years.
