Question

present age of aasha and rekha are in the ratio 4:5. eight years from now the ratio of their ages will be 5:6. find their present ages.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the common factor between the ratio is x

age of aasha = 4x

age of rekha = 5x

after 8 years

age of aasha = 4x+8

age of rekha=5x+8

ratio = (4x+8)/(5x+8) = 5/6

6(4x+8) = 5(5x+8)

24x + 48 = 25x + 40

x = 8

present ages of

aasha = 4×8 = 32 yrs

rekha = 5×8 = 40 yrs

Answer 2

Answer:

let the common factor between the ratio is x

Age of aasha = 4x

Age of rekha = 5x

After 8 years,

Age of aasha = 4x+8

Age of rekha=5x+8

Ratio = (4x+8)/(5x+8) = 5/6

6(4x+8) = 5(5x+8)

24x + 48 = 25x + 40

x = 8

Present ages of,

aasha = 4×8 = 32 yrs

Rekha = 5×8 = 40 yrs
