Question

If sum of present ages of two employee s is 36 years.After 4 years,their ages will be 5:6 .The age of the elder employee is?

Answer 1

Answer:

20 years

Explanation:

Let x and y be the ages

x+ y =36

x= 36 -y

after 4 years

x+ 4 /y+ 4 =5 /6

36 -y +4 /y+ 4= 5 /6

40- y /y+ 4 =5 /6

6( 40 -y )=5 (y +4)

240 -6y =5y+ 20

220 =11y

20 =y

X =16

So y is bigger

Ans 20 years
