Question

the age of mintu and chintu are in the ratio 7:6. four years later the sum of Their ages will be 56 years . what are their present ages?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ages of mintu and chintu be 5x and 7x years respectively.

Four years later,

mintu's age =5x+4 and, chintu's age =7x+4

According to the given condition, we have

(5x+4)+(7x+4)=56

⇒12x+8=56

⇒12x=56−8

⇒12x=48

⇒x= 48÷12 =4

∴ mintu's age =5×4=20 years and chintu's age

=7×4=28 years
