Question

Present ages of Akash and Yash are in the ratio of 9 : 11 respectively. After five years the ratio of their ages that time will be 5 : 6 respectively. What was Akash’s age one year​

Answer 1

Answer:

44 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ratio be 9x : 11x.

After 5 years,

Age of Akash = 9x + 5

Age of Yash = 11x + 5

According to Question,

9x + 5 : 11x + 5 = 5 : 6

6 (9x + 5) = 5 (11x + 5)

54x + 30 = 55x + 25

30 - 25 = 55x - 54x

x = 5

Hence, present age of Akash = 9 × 5 = 45 years

Akash's age one year before = 44 years
