Answer:
- A's age = 15 years.
- B's age = 9 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Age of A and B is in the ratio 5 : 3 respectively.
After 6 years duration the ratio turns to 7 : 5
If we assume the age of :
→ A = 5x years.
→ B = 3x years.
So, After 6 years their age will be :
→ (5x + 6) years.
→ (3x + 6) years.
But,
After 6 years their ratio of age is 7 : 5
Therefore we can say that,
→ (5x + 6)/(3x + 6) = 7/5
→ 5(5x + 6) = 7(3x + 6)
→ 25x + 30 = 21x + 42
→ 25x - 21x = 42 - 30
→ 4x = 12
→ x = 3 years.
We got the value of x as 3 years.
Therefore,
➙ A's age = 5x = 5(3) = 15 years.
➙ B's age = 3x = 3(3) = 9 years.
✦ Verification :
As it told after 6 years their age ratio will be 7 : 5
Again,
After 6 years their age :
→ A's age = 15 + 6 = 21 years.
→ B's age = 9 + 6 = 15 years.
Forming in ratio :
→ 21 : 15
→ 21/15 [Dividing by 3]
→ 7 : 5
Hence, we got the same ratio after 6 years.
