Question

Seema is 10 years older than Rekha the ratio of their ages 5: 3 find their ages

Answer 1

Heya,

Ratio of their age = 5:3
Difference between their age = 10

Therefore,

5x - 3x = 10
2x = 10
x = 10/2
x = 5

Seema's age = 5x = 5 × 5 = 25 years
Rekha's age = 3x = 3 × 5 = 15 years.

Hope my answer helps you :)

Answer 2

Seema's age is 25 years and Rekha's age is 15 years.

Given,

Seema is 10 years older than Rekha.

The ratio of their ages is 5:3.

To Find,

The age of Rekha and Seema.

Solution,

let us assume that Seema's age is 5x and Rekha's age is 3x.

So, according to the question

Seema is 10 years older than Rekha, which means

5x = 3x+10

2x = 10

x = 5

So,

Seema's age = 5x = 5*5 = 25 years

Rekha's age = 3x = 3*5 = 15 years

Hence, Seema's age is 25 years and Rekha's age is 15 years.
