Question

The age of Rohan and sohan are in the ratio 4:5 if Rohan is 4 years 8 month old. find the age of sohan​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find out the present ages and then add them.

Let's take A's age as 4y and B's age as 5y. Then according to the problem,

5y-4y = 8. ( I took 5y first as 5y is greater than 4y)

Or, y= 8. So the age of A is (4*8=32 years) and that of B is (5*8 =40 years)

Thus, A and B's present ages are 32 and 40 years. Now just add them and you will have the answer. 32+40= 72 years.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The age of rohan and sohan are in ratio = 4:5

let ratio 4:5 be 4x and 5x

Rohans age = 4 years and 8 months=56 months

4 × x = 56

x=56/4

x=14

5x =5×14

=70 months

= 5 years 10 months

hence Sohans age =5 years 10 months
