Question

The age of Rahul and Haroon are in the ratio 5:7. Four years later the sum of their age will be 56. What are their present age's?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the present age of Rahul be 5x years. Let the present age of Haroon be 7x years. The sum of their ages after 4 years is 56. Thus, the present age of Rahul is 20 years while the present age of Haroon is 28 years

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let age be 5x and 7x

four years later age will be

5x+4 , 7x+4

5x+4+7x+4= 56

12x + 8 = 56

12x=56-8= 48

x=48/12= 4

5×4+4 = 24 (age of rahul)

7×4+4=32(age of Haroon)
