Question

the age of A and B are in the ratio 8:3 six years hence, their ages will be in the ratio 9:4. find their present ages .​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the age of A and B be

A=8x

B=3x

Step-by-step explanation:

∴after 6 yrs,

A age=8x+6

B age=3x+6

8x+6/3x+6=9/4

4(8x+6)=9(3x+6)

32x+24=27x+54

32x-27x=54-24=5x=30

x=6

∴A's present age=8x=8*6=48

  B's present age=3x=3*6=18
