(A) Let the present ages of Sameer and Anand be $5x$ and $4x$ respectively.After $3$ years,their ages will be $(5x + 3)$ and $(4x + 3)$ respectively.According to the problem,the ratio of their ages after $3$ years will be $11 : 9$.So,$\frac{5x + 3}{4x + 3} = \frac{11}{9}$.Cross-multiplying,we get: $9(5x + 3) = 11(4x + 3)$.$45x + 27 = 44x + 33$.$45x - 44x = 33 - 27$.$x = 6$.Anand's present age is $4x = 4 	imes 6 = 24$ years.

Present ages of Sameer and Anand are in the ratio of $5 : 4$ respectively. Three years hence,the ratio of their ages will become $11 : 9$ respectively. What is Anand's present age in years?
