Answer :-
The ratio of Harshit and Harsha present ages is 5 : 4
So, let their ages will be 5x and 4x
After 8 years there ages will be in the ratio of 6:5
Therefore,
( 5x + 8) /( 4x + 8) = 6/5
By cross multipling ,
5( 5x + 8 ) = 6( 4x + 8)
25x + 40 = 24x + 48
25x - 24x = 48 - 40
x = 8
Therefore,
The present age of Harshit = 5x = 5 * 8 = 40 years
The present age of harsha = 4x = 4 * 8 = 32 years
