8. Present ages of A and B are in ratio

8:15 respectively. 8 years ago their ages
were in ratio 6:13. What is the ratio of
their ages 8 years from now?
A. 9:16 B. 9:17
C. 10:17 D. 13:17
Ans. C
Sol. Let the present ages be 8x and 15x.
8 years ago Since tangents drawn from the same
point on a circle are equal in length, so
AP = AS = 2; BQ = BP = 4
Thus x = 4 RC = QC = 6 and DS = DR = 3
8 years hence ratio = (32+8)/(60+8) = So perimeter of ABCD = 2(2+4+6+3) =
40/68 = 10:17 30
