​

Answer 1

Answer:

36 and 52 years

Step-by-step explanation:

let ages of A and B , 4 years ago be 2x and 3x

( As ratio of the ages 4 years ago is 2 : 3 )

4 years from now their ages will be

2x + 8 and 3x + 8 respectively

according to the question

2x + 8 / 3x + 8 = 5 / 7

7 ( 2x + 8 ) = 5 ( 3x + 8 )

14 x + 56 = 15 x + 40

x = 56 _ 40

x = 16

So, their present ages = 2x + 4 = 2 x 16 + 4 = 36 years and

3x + 4 = 3 × 16 + 4 = 52 respectively
