The total of the ages of Geroge, Louis and Sara is 93 years. Ten years ago, the ratio of their ages was 2:3:4. What is the present age of Saransh ?

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the ages of George, Louis and Sara 10 years ago be $2x$, $3x$ and $4x$ years respectively.
Then, $(2x+10)$ +$(3x+10)$ + $(4x+10) = 93$
$\Leftrightarrow 9x = 63$
$\Leftrightarrow x = 7$.
$\therefore$ Sarah's present age $=(4x+10)= 38$ years.
