Question

2. The present ages of Vijay and Gautam are in the ratio 2 : 3. Five years hence, their
be in the ratio 3 : 4. Find their present ages. (You can assume the ages of Vijay and
2x and 3x, respectively.)​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let ,V age 2x and G age is 3x

(here x is common factor )

According to question ,

$\frac{2x + 5}{3x + 5} = \frac{3}{4} \\ 8x + 20 = 9x + 15 \\ 9x - 8x = 20 - 15 \\ x = 5$

so, the present age of V is 2x= 10

and present age of G is 3x = 15 yr
