Question

Sonam is 25 years younger than Anil. After 15 years, if the ratio of Sonam's age to Anil's age would be 2 : 3, then the sum of the present ages of Sonam and Anil is

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

Sonam is 25 years younger than Anil.

Let us think that sonam's current age is - x

Anil's age is - x+25

After 15 years, sonam's age will be - x+15

Anil's age will be x+25+15 = x+40

By the prb,

(x+15) / (x+40) = 2/3

3x +45 = 2x = 80 - 45

x = 35

Sonal's current age is 35 and Anil's current age is 35 + 25 = 60

Answer 2

Answer:

Hey friend, here is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take sonam'a age as x and Anil's age as x+25.

Sonam's age: x

Anil's age: x+25

After 15 years, the age can be written as

Sonam's age: (x+ 15)

Anil's age:( x+25+ 15)= x+40

Ratio from Sonam's age to Anil's age is 2:3.

So here we have to cross multiply:

x+15 / x+40 and 2/3

So we will get it as :

3(x+15) = 2( x+40)

= 3x +45 = 2x +80

= 3x -2x = 80-45

= x = 35

Therefore:

Sonam's age: x= 35

Anil's age: x +25= (35+25)= 60

So the sum of their ages are: 35+60= 95
