Question

10 years ago the ratio of ages of maya and santoshi was 7:5 respectively.after 8 years the difference of their ages will be 10 years what is manyas present age?

Answer 1

let the age 10 years ago be 7x and 5x

present age of :-

maya's age = 7x + 10
santoshi's age = 5x + 10

___________________________

after 8 years :-

maya's age = 7x + 10 + 8
santoshi's age = 5x + 10 + 8

ATQ

(7x + 10 + 8) - (5x + 10 + 8) = 10

2x = 10

x = 5

so

Maya's age = 7(2) = 14

Santoshi's age = 5(2) = 10
