present age of Ankush and sorry are in the ratio 5:8 however after 8 years the ratio will be 9 : 3 find their present age​

Answer 1

Answer:

Present ages of Ankush and Sorry are in the ratio 5 : 8

Let the age of Ankush be 5x

Let the age of Sorry be 8 x.

After 8 years their ages would be,

Ankush's age = 5x + 8

Sorry 's age = 8x + 8

And it is given that, it is in the ratio 9:3

5x + 8 = 9y

8x +8      3y

3[ 5x + 8 ] = 9[ 8x + 8 ]

15x + 24 = 72 x + 72

24 - 72 = 72x - 15x

- 48 = 57x

x = - 57/48
