Question

present age of ram and rahim are in the ratio 4 : 5 eight years from now the ratio of their ages will be 5 : 6 .Find thier present ages​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ages of ram and Rahim be 4x and 5x,

As per question, their age eight years hence will be in the ratio 5:6,

Now,we have

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

by cross multiplication we have,

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

24x+48=25x+40

24x-25x=40-48

-x=-8

Minus signs are cut,

x=8

Hence Ram's age=32

Rahim's age=40 years.

Answer 2

present age of Ram = 32 years

present age of Rahim = 40 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us take

present age of Ram = 4x

present age of Rahim = 5x

After eight years

Ram age = 4x+8

Rahim age = 5x+8

According to the sum

4x+8 = 5x

8 = 5x-4x

x=8
