Question

Radha is 19 yrs younger than her cousin. After 5 yrs, their ages will be in the ratio 2:3. Find their present ages.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the present age of cousin.

Present age of Radha = x-19

After 5 years

Age of cousin = x+5

Age of Radha = (x-19)+5

According to the given condition

(x-19)+5 / x+5 = 2/3

x-14 / x+5 = 2/3

Now we will do cross multiply

3( x-14 ) = 2( x+5 )

3x - 42 = 2x + 10

3x - 2x = 10 + 42

x = 52

Present age of cousin = x = 52 years

Present age of Radha = x - 19 = 33 years

Hope it's helpful....
