Question

The age of amit and archangel are in the ratio 4:5 if amity is 4 years 8 months old .find the age of archana

Answer 1

let the ratio of age be in x, then
amits age = 4x
archana age = 5x
but amits age is 4 years 8 months = 56 months
therefore, 4x=56
x=56/4
=14
therefore the age of archana is 5x
which is = 5×14
= 70 months
= 70/12 years
= 5 years 10 months
