Answer:

24 years

Step-by-step explanation:

let the present age be 3x & 4x

so after 16 years ,

3x + 16

&

4x + 16

whose ratio is given as 5 : 6

cross multilingual we get ,

(3x+16)6 = 5(4x+16)

18x + 96 = 20x + 80

16 = 2x

x = 8

so the present age will be 3 × 8 = 24 years

Answer:

A=24 & B =32.

after 16 year

A=40 & B=48

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

A = 3x & B =4x. (from ratio)

after 16 year

A=

3x +16 =5x. &

B =

4x +16 =6x

therefore

A =

16 =5x-3x

2x=16

x= 16/2

x = 8

A=3x

=3 x 8

= 24

after 16 year

A=5x

=5 x 8

=40

B=

4x+16=6x

16 =6x-4x

16=2x

x=16/2

x=8

B=

=4x

=4 x 8

=32

after 16 year

B=6x

=6 x 8

=48
