1. Two years ago, the respective ratio between A’s age at that time and B’s age at that time was 5 : 9. A's age three years ago was 13 years less than B’s age six years ago. What is B’s present age?

Let present age of A and B be $$x$$ and $$y$$ years respectively. => $$frac{x - 2}{y - 2} = frac{5}{9}$$ => $$9x - 18 = 5y - 10$$ => $$9x - 5y = 8$$ --------------(i) Also, => $$(x - 3) = (y - 6) - 13$$ => $$x - y = -16$$ --------------(ii) Multiplying eqn(ii) by 9 and subtracting it from (i), we get : => $$(9x - 9x) + (-5y + 9y) = 8 + 144$$ => $$4y = 152$$ => $$y = frac{152}{4} = 38$$ years
