Worksheet 2
The present ages of A and B are in the ratio 7:5. Ten years later, their ages w
be in the ratio 9:7. Find their present ages.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let their present ages :

Age of A =7x

Age of B =5x

After 10 years :

Age of A = 7x + 10

Aage of B = 5x + 10

They are in ratio 9:7

So,

7x+10/5x+10 = 9/7

49x + 70= 45x + 90

49x - 45x = 90-70

4x = 20

x=5

So present age of A and B :

Aage of A =7×5=35

Aage of B = 5×5 = 25
