Question

if 4 years ago the ratio between the ages of p and q was 5:6 and the sum of their ages at present is 52 years what is the ratio of their present ages?

Answer 1

★ Ello ★


here is your answer!!


let p and q be present age


4 years ago


p - 4 / q - 4 = 5 / 6

=> 6p -24 = 5q -20

=> 6p - 5q = 4 ----------------- (1)


according to question :-


p + q = 52 ------------------(2)


from equation 1 and 2 we get

6p - 5q = 4-------------× (1)
p + q = 52 ------------ × 5

=>


5p - 5q = 260

=> 11p = 264


p = 24



and q = 52 -24 => 28


hence ,

★ p = 24 , q = 28 years★


hope it helps you dear !!
