Answer:
Rani's age is 25 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
hai, friend, thanks for asking the question, so without wasting time let's jump into it!
Let's assume that,
- Semma's age is x
- and rani's age is y
so it's GIVEN;
Seema's age + Rani's age = 40
that is,
- x + y = 40 ....(1)
and it is said the ratio of their ages are 3:5
that is,
- x:y = 3:5...(2)
now let's find the value of x from (2),
x:y = 3:5
x/y = 3/5
in cross multiplying, we get,
5x = 3y
so,
x = 3y/5
Now let's substitute the value of x in (1)
so we get,
x + y = 40
3y/5 + y = 40
on taking LCM,
3y + 5y / 5 = 40
8y/5 = 40
8y = 40 * 5
8y = 200
y = 200/8
y = 25
And we got the answer!
WE HAVE TAKEN RANI'S AGE AS y
and now we have y, that is 25
CONCLUSION;
Rani's age is 25 years.
as a bonus;
Seem's age will be 40 - 25 = 15 years
Thanks
