Question

Present ages of Anu and Raj are in the ratio 4 : 5. Eight years from now the ratio of their age will be 5:6. Find

their present age.​

Answer 1

• Let ages if them be 4x and 5x

• according to Question:

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

9x+16=11x

11x-9x=16

2x=16

x=16/2

x=8

• present age of anu = 4x = 4×8 = 32

• present age of raj = 5x = 5×8 = 40

Answer 2

Answer:

32, 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let their ages be 4x and 5x.

Given,

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

or, 5x - 4x = 8 or, 6x - 5x = 8

or, x = 8

4x = 8 × 4 = 32 y/o

5x = 8 × 5 = 40 y/o

Hope it helps :)
