Answer:
The ratio of ages of Monu and Sonu at present is 4 ∶ 1. Eight years ago Monu's age was 10 times the age of Sonu. What is the present age of Monu?
Given:
The ratio of ages of Monu and Sonu at present is 4 ∶ 1.
Eight years ago Monu's age was 10 times the age of Sonu.
Calculation:
Let the present age of Monu and Sonu be 4x and x.
The age of Monu eight years ago = 4x - 8
The age of Sonu eight years ago = x - 8
According to the question;
⇒ 10( x - 8) = 4x - 8
⇒ 10x - 80 = 4x - 8
⇒ 6x = 72
⇒ x = 12
The present age of Monu = 4 × 12 = 48 years
∴ The present age of Monu is 48 years.
