Answer:

The ages of Rahul and Haroon are in the ratio 5:7

Let Rahul’s present age=5x

Haroon present age=7x

Four years later the sum of their ages will be 56 years. So according to the condition,

(5x+4)+(7x+4)=56

12x+8=56

12x=56–8

12x=48

x=48/12

x=4

Therefore Rahul’s present age =5*4=20years

Haroon’s present age=7*4=28years

Given :

  • Age of A and B are in the ratio of 5 : 7. After four years, the sum of their ages will be 56 years. We need to find the present ages of A and B .

❖ Solution :

  • Let's assume the present age of A = 5x years.

  • Let's assume the present age of B = 7x years.

✰ After Four years :

  • Age of A = (5x + 4) years

  • Age of B = (7x + 4) years
