The age of aslam and ahmed in the proportion of 3:5 .After 9 years the proportion of their age will b 3:4 what is the current age of ahmed?
Answers
The age of Ahmed is 15 years respectively.
Explanation:-
Given :
Ratio of the ages of Aslam and Ahmed = 3 : 5
Ratio of the ages of Aslam and Ahmed after 9 years = 3 : 4
To find :
The current age of Ahmed
Solution :
Let the present age of Aslam be 3x
And the present age of Ahmed be 5x
After 9 years,
Age of Aslam = (3x + 9) years
Age of Ahmed = (5x + 9) years
According to question,
Cross multiplying the terms.
Hence, the value of x is 3
Therefore,
The age of Aslam => 3x = 3 × 3 = 9 years
And the age of Ahmed => 5x = 5 × 3 = 15 years
Given→
Ratio of the age of Aslam and Ahmed = 3:5
Ratio of the age of Aslam and Ahmed = 3:4
Find Out →
The current age of Ahmed
Solve →
Let the present age of Aslam = 3x
and, the present age of Ahmed = 5x
After 9 years,
The age of Aslam = (3x + 9) years
The age of Ahmed = (5x + 9) years
As per Question,
=> 3x + 9 / 5x + 9 = 3 / 4
=> 3(5x + 9) = 4(3x + 9)
=> 15x + 27 = 12x + 36
=> 15x - 12x = 36 - 27
=> 3x = 9
=> x = 9 / 3
Now,
For finding the current age of Ahmed, we have to put the value of x.
The current age of Ahmed = 5x
= 5x
= 5 × 3 [°.° x = 3]
= 15 years.
Answer →
Hence, the current age of Ahmed is 15 years old.
