Ramiya got married 8 years ago. Her present age is $\frac{6}{5}$ times her age at the time of her marriage. Ramiya's brother was 10 years younger than her at the time of her marriage. What is the ratio of Ramiya's present age to her brother's age at the time of her marriage?

  1. 2:7
  2. 7:9
  3. 4:7
  4. 8:5

Correct answer: 8:5

Solution

Let Ramiya's age at marriage be $x$. Her present age is $\frac{6}{5}x$, and since 8 years have passed, $x+8=\frac{6}{5}x$. Solving gives $x=40$, so her present age is 48. Her brother's age at that time was 30, so the ratio is $48:30=8:5$.
