Answer 2

Answer:-

Rahim's father age will be 52 years

Rahim's age will be 33 years

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question

We have been given that

Rahim is 19 years younger than his father and after 5 years their ages will be in the ratio 2:3

According to the question

Let the Rahim's Father age be x

Therefore Rahim's age = x-19

After 5 years,

$\frac{x-19+5}{x+5}=\frac{2}{3}$

On solving we get

$\frac{x-14}{x+5}=\frac{2}{3}$

On cross Multiplying we get,

$3x-42=2x+10$

$x=52$

Therefore Rahim's father age will be 52 years

Rahim's age = x-19

                    =52-19

                    =33yrs

Rahim's age will be 33 years
