Question

Madhav and gopal earned points in the ratio of 5:6. If each of them lost 8 points, the ratio would become 4:5. Find the point earned by them initially?

Answer 1

let Masha earned 5x and gopal earned 6x
after losing 8 points
5x-8/6x-8=4/5
25x-40=24x-32
25x-24x=32+40
x=8
hence madhav age is=5*8=40
gopal age=6*8=48
