Question

Raju is 19 years younger then his cousin after 5 years their ages will be in ratio 2:3 find their present age

Answer 1

Heya...

Here is your answer...

Lets take Raju's cousin's age be x yrs

Therefore Raju 's age = x - 19

Ratio between Raju and his cousin = 2 : 3 or 2/3

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

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

= 5 + x - 14/x + 5 = 2/3

= 15 + 3x - 42/2x + 10

= - 37 + 3x = 2x+10

= - 37 - 10 = 2x - 3x

= - 47 = - x

= 47 = x = His cousin age after 5 yrs=47 + 5 = 52yrs

= His age = 52 - 19 =  33yrs

Thanks...!!!

Answer 2

Hey

Note: Raju was and always will be 19 year younger than his cousin
Let x represent his cousin's age, then Raju's age is (x-19)
write as we read (in 5 years...)
cross multiply to solve
2x = 3(x-19)
solve for x (cousin's age in 5 years)
2x = 3x - 57
57 =x (cousin's age in 5 years)
cousin is now 52 and Raju is 33 (52-19)
