Answer 1

Answer:

The age of boys are 15 and 10

then the ratio of two boys are 3:2.

THE SUM 25000 SHOULD BE DIVIDE ...

25000X3/5=15000 ....1

25000X2/5=10000 ....2

then 2nd conditions, at the age of 25 would get equal amount ,

25-15 age of 1st boys=10

25-10 age of 2nd boy=15

the above ratio of boys 2:3

15000×2+8%:10000×3+8% ..... FROM 1 AND 2

32400:32400
