Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the Present ages of Reema and Sam be x and y .

so reema = 4x

sam = 5x

$\frac{4}{5 } = \frac{x}{y} \\ x = \frac{4y}{5}$

3 years later

new age of reema = x +3 = ( 4 y /5) + 3 = 4y + 15 / 5

" " " sam = y +3

given ratio = 9 :11

(x+3)/(y+3)=11/9

((5/4)*y+3)/(y+3)=11/9

(5y+12)/(4y+12)=11/9

45y+108=44y+132

y=24

Therefore, the present age of reema is 24 years
