Answers
Let the present age of Lucky's father be,
x years.
Then the present age of Lucky will be ,
(x-19) years.
Also,
Lucky's father's age after 5 years will be,
(x+5) years
Lucky's age after 5 years will be;
(x-19+5) years ,ie; (x-14) years.
According to the question;
After five years, the ratio of Lucky's age and his father's age will be 2:3.
=> (x-14):(x+5) = 2:3
=> (x-14)/(x+5) = 2/3
=> 3(x-14) = 2(x+5)
=> 3x - 42 = 2x + 10
=> 3x - 2x = 10 + 42
=> x = 52
Hence,
The present age of Lucky's Father is :
x years , ie; 52 years.
Also,
The present age of Lucky is :
(x-19) years , ie; (52-19) years
ie; 33 years.
GIVEN:-
Lucky is 19 years younger than his Father.
ratios of their ages after 5 years = 2:3
FIND:-
THEIR PRESENT AGES ?
SOLUTION:-
Let age of Father be x years
Age of Cousin = x-19 years
After 5 years
Age of Father = x+5 years
Age of Lucky = x - 19 + 5 = x - 14 years
ACCORDING TO QUESTION
So, Present age of:
Father = x = 52 years
Lucky = x -19 = 52 - 19 = 33 years
