Answer 2

Answer:

Age of Rahul= 9x= 9x 4= 36 years

Age of Laxmi = 4x= 4x4 = 16 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of ages= 9:4

Let the ages of Rahul and Laxmi be x.

Present ages of

Rahul= 9x

Laxmi= 4x

4 years later the sum of their ages= 60

Age after 4 years

Rahul =  9x + 4

Laxmi = 4x+4

Given, { Don't forget to write the word "Given" as it is very important }

9x+4 + 4x+4 = 60 { equating them }

⇒9x+4 + 4x+4 = 60

13x + 8 = 60

13x= 60-8

13x=52

x= 52/13 { dividing by 13}

x= 4

⇒x= 4

∴ Age of Rahul= 9x= 9x 4= 36 years

Age of Laxmi = 4x= 4x4 = 16 years
