Question

12. Raju is 19 years old than his cousin.After 5 years,their ages will be in the ratio 2:3. Find their present ages.​

Answer 1

Answer:
Raju’s age =48
His cousin’s age=48-19
=29

Answer 2

Answer:

let age of cousin be x

then age ofraju =x+19

After 5 years

age ofcousin=x+5

age ofRaju= x+24

$\frac{x + 5}{x + 24} = \frac{2}{3}$

3(x+5)=2(x+24)

3x+15=2x+48

x=48-15

x=33

age of cousin=33 years

age of Raju=33+19= 52 years
