Question

six years before, the ages of salma and sabir were in the ratio 1:2. six years from now the ratio oftheir ages will be 3:4.find the present ages

Answer 1

Here is your answer dear⬇️⬇️


Let their ages be 1x and 2x

Before 6 years = (1x - 6) and (2x - 6)


Solving the equation⬇️

(1x - 6) (2x - 6)

1x + 2x = 6 + 6 (We are changing the places, so the signs will also change)


3x = 12

x = $\frac{12}{3}$

x = 4

salma's age before 6 yeas=1x4=4

sabir's age before 6 years=2x4=8



After six years = (1x + 6) and (2x + 6)


Solving the equation⬇️

(1x + 6) (2x + 6)

3x+4x=6-6

7x=0

x=7

salma's present age =3x7=21years

sabir's prsent age=4x7=28 years
