Question

present age of Seema and Shruti are in the ratio 4 : 5 • 8 years from now the ratio of their ages will be 5:6find their present ages

Answer 1

Let the age of Seema be 4x and Shruti be 5x

Eight years from now, Seema's age will be 5x and Shruti's age will be 6x

A/q,

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

9x + 16 = 11x

16 = 11x - 9x

2x = 16

x =

x = 8 years

Present age of Seema => 4x => 4 × 8 => 32 years

Present age of Shruti => 5x => 5 × 8 => 40 years
