Question

present age of anu and raj are in the ratio of 4:5. eight years from now the ratio of thier ages will be 5:6 . find their present ages

Answer 1

let their present age =4x and 5x
now from question
(4x+8)/(5x+8)=5/6
after cross multiplication
25x+40=24x+48
x=8
so their present age =4*8=32. & 5*8=40
Answer

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Anu is 4x.Then, the present age of Raj will be 5x

8 years from now,

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

24x+48 = 25x+40

24x - 25x = 40 - 48

-x = -8 [ here both the signs are same so - get cancelled ]

x = 8

so, Present age of Anu is 32 years and present age of Raj is 40 years.
