Answer 1

Question:

Ages of two brothers are in ratio of 5 : 4 if the sum of their ages in 45 years find the ages.

Answer:

let the common multiple be x

by condition

5x+4x=45

9x=45

x=45/9

x=5

5x=5×5

=25 years

4x=4×5

=20 years

Therefore, ages of two brothers is 25 & 20.

Answer 2

$\sf{\huge{\underline{\orange{Given :-}}}}$

• The ages of two brothers are in ratio of 5 : 4.

• The sum of their ages in 45 years.

$\sf{\huge{\underline{\green{Answer :-}}}}$

• The ages of two brothers.

$\sf{\huge{\underline{\purple{Solution :-}}}}$

Let the present ages be x ,

So the ages are, 5x & 4x

➝ 5x + 4x = 45

➝ 9x = 45

➝ x = $\cancel{\dfrac{45}{9}}$

➝ x = 5

The ages are :-

• 5x = 5 × 5 = 25 years

• 4x = 4 × 5 = 20 years
