at present the ratio between the ages of anjali and Dwaraka 4:3 after 6 years.anjalis age will be 26 years what is the age of Dwaraka after 1 year
Answers
Present age of Anjali and Dwaraka is 4x and 3x
=> 4x + 60 = 20 = x = 5
After 1 year,
Dwaraka's age = 3 × 5 + 1 = 16
Given,
The ratio between Anjali and Dwaraka's ages at present is 4:3,
Anjali's age after 6 years = 26 years.
To find,
Dwaraka's age after 1 year.
Solution,
Firstly, let the present age of Anjali be 4x, and that of Dwaraka be 3x.
It is given that Anjali's age after 6 years will be 26 years.
We assumed Anjali's age at present to be 4x, so, after 6 years, it will be 4x + 6. Thus,
4x + 6 = 26
We can find x by simplifying the above expression. So,
4x = 26 - 6
⇒ 4x = 20
⇒ x = 5.
As we have found x = 5, hence,
Anjali's present age = 4x = 4(5) = 20 years, and,
Dwaraka's present age = 3x = 3(5) = 15 years.
From her present age, we can see that Dwaraka's age after 1 year will be
= 15 + 1
= 16 years.
Therefore, the age of Dwaraka after 1 year will be 16 years.
