Raja is 14 years younger than his cousin. After 5 years, their ages will be in the ratio 1:2. Find their present ages.
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the age of Raja = x
Age of Raja's cousin = 14+x
Age's after 5 years:-
Raja = x+5
His cousin = 14+x+5 = 19x
Ratios of their ages = 1:2
Thus,we have
x+5/19+x = 1/2
Cross multiplying,we get
2(x+5) = 1(19+x)
2x+10 = 19+x
2x-x = 19-10
x = 9
Thus,
Age of Raja = x = 9 yrs
Age of Raja's cousin = 14+x = 14+9 = 23 yrs
* Hope it's help you.
