Question

pemba is 19 years younger then his cousin After 5 years their age will be in the ratio of 2and 3Find the present ages

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the present age of Pemba be x.

Present age of his cousin = x+19

According to Question,

(x+5) / (x+19+5) = 2/3

=> 3(x+5) = 2(x+24)

=> 3x+15 = 2x+48

=> 3x-2x = 48-15

=> x = 33

Hence, present age of Pemba = 33 years

Present age of his cousin = (33+19) years = 52 years
