Answer 1

Answer:

Let their present age be 4a and 5a.

After 8 years, their ages will be (4a+8) and (5a+8)

Ratio would be (4a+8) : (5a+8)

But this ratio is given to be 5:6. Therefore

(4a+8) : (5a+8) = 5:6

solve this (4a+8) / (5a+8) = 5/6

=> 6 x (4a+8) = (5a+8) x 5

=> 24a + 48 = 25a + 40

=> a = 8
