Answer 1

Answer:

given :

the age of meena and rakhi are in the ratio 3:8

Step-by-step explanation:

let their current age be ' x '

there fore, meena 's age = 3x

         and , rakhi's age = 8x

so,

3x + 3 = 8x - 2

3 + 2 = 8x - 3x

5 = 5x

5x =5

x =5/5

x = 1

hence meena's present age = 3x  = 3*1 = 3

           rakhi 's present age = 8x = 8*1 = 8
