Question

the+age+of+Paul+and+Kirat+is+in+the+ratio+of+3:2.+5+years+hence+their+ages+will+in+the+ratio+of+10:7+.+Find+their+ages+5+years+hence

Answer 1

let the age of Paul and Kirat be 3x and 2x

So, after 5 years

3x + 5/2x + 5 = 10/7

7(3x + 5) = 10(2x + 5)

21x + 35 = 20x + 50

21x - 20x = 50 - 35

x = 15

So, age of Paul is = 3x = 3 × 15= 45 years

Then, age of kirat is = 2x = 2 × 15= 30 years
