Present age of Vinod and Ashok are in ratio of 3:4 respectively. After 5 years, the ratio of their ages becomes 7:9 respectively. What is Ashok’s present age is

Answer 1

Answer:

40 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

    Vinod's present age=3x

    Ashok's present age=4x

After 5 years,

    Vinod's age=3x+5

    Ashok's age=4x+5

Now,  A/q

       3x+5/4x+5=7/9                        Cross multyplying we get,

                     27x+45=28x+35

                     => x=10

Therefore, Ashok's present age=4x= 40 years
