Given that the ages of A and B is 5:7.
Let us assume that the age of A = 5x.
Let us assume that the age of B = 7x.
4 years hence:
⇒ Age of A = 5x + 4.
⇒ Age of B = 7x + 4.
Given that four years hence the ratio of their ages will be 3:4
⇒ 5x + 4 : 7x + 4 = 3 : 4
⇒ 4(5x + 4) = 3(7x + 4)
⇒ 20x + 16 = 21x + 12
⇒ -x = -4
⇒ x = 4.
Then:
⇒ 5x = 5(4) = 20.
⇒ 7x = 7(4) = 28.
Therefore:
⇒ Present age of A = 20 years.
⇒ Present age of B = 28 years.
Hope it helps!
