Question

Sunitha us 19 years younger than her cousin. After 5 years their ages will be in the ratio 2:3. Find their present ages......please let me the answer.....​

Answer 1

Heyy...

let sunitha's age be x yes and her cousin's be y.

Given that

x = y + 19 ---(1)

Also,

after 5 yrs,

sunitha's age= x+5

cousin's age= y+5

therefore

x+5/y+5= 2/3 ---(2)

solve the second equation and convert it into a linear equation.

Then solve (1) and (2) equations in any method.(elimination is the easiest method).

You will get x and y, which are the ages of sunitha and her cousin.

Thank you!!!
