1st ǫuestion :
The ages of Hari and Harry are in the ratio 5:7. Four years from now the ratio of their ages will be 3:4. Find their present ages.
Given :
- Ratio of Ages of Hari and Harry = 5 : 7
After 4 years
- Ratio of ages of Hari and Harry = 3 : 4
Let present age of Hari and Harry be 5x and 7x
After 4 years their ages will be :
- Age of Hari = 5x + 4
- Age of Harry = 7x + 4
After 4 years ratio of their ages will be 3 : 4
⟶ 5x + 4/7x + 4 = 3/4
⟶ 4(5x + 4) = 3(7x + 4)
⟶ 20x + 16 = 21x + 12
⟶ 16 - 12 = 21x - 20x
⟶ 4 = x
So,
Present age of Hari :
= 5x
= 5 × 4
= 20 years.
Present age of Harry :
= 7x
= 7 × 4
= 28 years.

2nd ǫuestion :
The denominator of a rational number is greater than its numerator by 8. If the numerator is increased by 17 and the denominator is decreased by 1, the number obtained is Find the fraction.
Given :
- Denominator of Fraction is greater than it's numerator by 8.
Let the numerator of fraction be x so, Denominator of fraction is x + 8.
If the numerator is increased by 17 and the denominator is decreased by 1, the number obtained is 3/2.
⟶ x + 17/x + 8 - 1 = 3/2
⟶ x + 17/x + 7 = 3/2
⟶ 2(x + 17) = 3(x + 7)
⟶ 2x + 34 = 3x + 21
⟶ 34 - 21 = 3x - 2x
⟶ 13 = x
⟶ x = 13
So,
Numerator of fraction is 13
Denominator of fraction x + 8 = 21
Hence,
- Fraction = 13/21

Ages of Hari and Harry are in the ratio = 5:7
Ratio of ages of Hari and Harry after 4 years = 3:4
The present age of Hari.
The present age of Harry.
Given that,
Ages of Hari and Harry are in the ratio = 5:7
Ratio of ages of Hari and Harry after 4 years = 3:4
According the question,
Let Hari's age be 5x years and Harry's be 7x years.
Then after four years,
Hari's age = years
Harry's age = years
It's given that,
Ratio of ages of Hari and Harry after 4 years = 3:4
Then,
Therefore,
Present age of Hari = years
Present age of Harry = years
Hence the present age of Hari is 20 years and the present age of Harry is 28 years.
The rational number.
Let the numerator of the rational number be x.
According to the question,
The denominator will x + 8
The rational number will be =
In this condition,
Numerator of the rational number = 13
Denominator of the rational number =
∴ Rational number =
The expression on the left of the equality sign is the Left Hand Side (LHS). The expression on the right of the equality sign is the Right Hand Side (RHS)
A linear equation is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and a variable.
Solving an equation means determining its root ie. to determine the value of the variable which satisfies it.
