✯ Answer :
- Present age of Anu = 20 years
- Present age of Raj = 28 years
✯ Solution :
Let their age of Anu be 5x.
And let the age of Raj be 7x.
So, after four years, their ages will be (5x + 4) and (7x + 4)
And the ratio would be (5x + 4) : (7x + 4)
But this ratio is given to be 3:4.
Therefore,
(5x + 4) : (7x + 4) = 3:4
Now, let's solve this (5x + 4) / (7x + 4) = 3/4
→ 4 x (5x + 4) = (7x + 4) x 3
→ 20x + 16 = 21x + 12
→ 20x - 21x = 12 - 16
→ x = 4
So! their present age would be:
- 5x = 5 × 4 = 20
- 7x = 7 x 4 = 28
Therefore, the present age of Anu = 20 years ; and the present age of Raj = 28 years.
