Question

Age of ram is five years more than ravi .5 years ago the ratio of their age was 3:2.find their present age

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, all this is an easy answer but is a bit tricky!

So first we have to take(5 years ago ) A age as 3x and, B age as 2x.

So they are now 3x +5 and 2x+5 years old respectively.

Ratio is 3x + 2x or 3x-2x (x is the common HCF in both)

I will take 3x-2x because its easier.(3x-2x = 1x)

So, (3x+5)–(2x+5)= 5 (because A is older than B by 5 years )

So 1x=5

B age 2x+5 =2*5+5=10 +5 =15 years

A age is 3x+5 =3*5+5 = 15+5 =20 years
