Question

Respective ratio of present ages of sita and geeta is 8:9 sum of their ages is 68,what will be the respective ratio of their ages 10 years hence

Answer 1

Answer:

21:23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Sita and Geeta be 8x and 9x respectively (ratio is 8:9)

According to question

Sum of their present age = 68

∴ 8x + 9x = 68

17x = 68

x = 4

∴ Sita's present age = 8x = 32 years

Geeta's present age = 9x = 36 years

After ten years

Sita's age = 42 year

Geeta's age = 46 years

Ratio of their ages after 10 years = 42:46 or 21 : 23
