Answer 2

Given: Sum of ages of Seema and Rani is 40 years. Their ages are in ratio 3:5.

To find: Age of Seema and Rani

Explanation: Let Seema's age be 3x. Then, Rani's age= 5x

According to question, when their ages are added the answer would be equal to 40 years.

Therefore, Seema's age+ Rani's age= 40

=> 3x + 5x = 40

=> 8x = 40

=> x = 40/8

=> x = 5

Seema's age= 3x = 3*5

= 15 years

Rani's age= 5x = 5*5

= 25 years

Adding, we get 15+25 = 40 years

Therefore, Seema's age is 15 years and Rani's age is 25 years.
