Question

Ram is 8 years younger than his cousin. After 5 years, their ages will be in the ratio 2:3.
Find their present ages.

Answer 1

Answer:

Rams age = 11yrs

Cousins age = 19yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Cousins present age = x

Rams present age = x - 8

According to question,

(x-8+5)/(x+5) = 2/3

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

3x - 9 = 2x + 10

x = 10+9 = 19

Rams age = 19-8 = 11
