Question

Raju is 19years younger than his cousin. After 5years ,their ages will be in the ratio2:3. Find their present ages.

Answer 1

let rajus cousins age be x and rajus age=x-19
ratio=2/3
after 5 years rajus age=x-19+5=x-14
after 5 years rajus cousins age=x+5
x-14 = 2
-------- ----
x+5 3

on cross multiplying,
3(x-14)=2(x+5)
3x- 42= 2x+10
3x-2x= 10+42
x= 52

rajus age= 52-19=33
