Correct question :-
Present age of Anu and Raj are in the ratio 4:5. Eight years from now the ratio of their ages will be 5:6. Find their present age.
Answer :-
Given :-
- Present age of Anu and Raj is 4:5.
- Eight years from now their ratio will be 5:6.
To find :-
- Their present age.
According to the question,
- Let the age of Anu be 4x and Raj be 5x.
______________________....
→ 4x + 8 + 5x + 8 = 5x + 6x
→ 9x + 16 = 11x
→ 11x - 9x = 16
→ 2x = 16
→ x = 16 ÷ 2
.°. x = 8
- Present age of Anu = 4x = 4 × 8 years = 32 years
- Present age of Raj = 5x = 5 × 8 years = 40 years.

Verification :-
→ 4x + 8 + 5x + 8 = 5x + 6x
→ 4 × 8 + 8 + 5 × 8 + 8 = 5 × 8 + 6 × 8
→ 32 + 8 + 40 + 8 = 40 + 48
→ 40 + 48 = 88
→ 88 = 88

Answer:
ur ques is incomplete
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the present age of Anu is 4x.Then, the present age of Raj will be 5x
8 years from now,
(4x+8)/(5x+8) = 5/6
24x+48 = 25x+40
24x - 25x = 40 - 48
-x = -8 [ here both the signs are same so - get cancelled ]
x = 8
so, Present age of Anu is 32 years and present age of Raj is 40 years.
