Answer 2

Answer:

Anu= 32 years

Raj= 40 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present ages of Anu and Raj be $4x$ and $5x$ respectively.

Anu's age 8 years later= $(4x+8)$ years

Raj's age 8 years later= $(5x+8)$ years

$\frac{4x+8}{5x+8} = \frac{5}{6}\\\\=> 6(4x+8)= 5(5x+8)\\=> 24x+ 48 = 25x+40\\=>24x-25x=40-48\\=> -x=-8\\=>x=8$

∴ present age of Anu = $4x=(4*8)=32$ years

  present age of Raj = $5x=(5*8)=40$ years
