Question

(PLS HELP ASAP I HAVE A TEST RN YHIS IS IMPORTANT) the present ages of Jessica and Emma are in the ratio of 5:4 respectively. However in three years, the ratio of their ages will become 11:9 respectively. How old are they now?

Answer 1

Answer:

Let us assume present age of Sameer = x

present age of Anand = y

So,

y

x

=

4

5

4x=5y

4x−5y=0----------eq1 multiply it by 9

y+3

x+3

=

9

11

9x+27=11y+33

9x−11y=6-----------eq2 --multiply it by 4

Subtracting eq 1 from eq2

We get,

y=24 years

Anand's present age= 24 years

Answer (A) 24 years
