Hey mate! Here is your answer.

Ratio of their ages = 6:5

Let their ages be 6x and 5x

Sum of their ages = 66

6x + 5x = 66

11x = 66

x=6

Their age = 6x and 5x

= 6×6 and 6×5

= 36years and 30 years

After y years, their ages' ratio = 8:7

36+y/ 30+ y = 8/7

7(36+y)=8(30+y)

252 + 7y = 240 + 8y

252- 240 = 8y - 7y

y = 12

Answer is -: After 12 years their ages would be in the ratio 8:7
