Q.The ages of 'A' and 'B' are in the ratio 5:7 .Eight years ago , their ages were on the 7:13 . Find their present ages.
ans
Let the ages of two boys be x and y respectively.
x/y= 5/7
x= 5*y/7

Now 8 years ago ratio was 7:13.
(x-8)/(y-8)=7/13
13(x-8)=7(y-8)
13x-104=7y-56
13{5y/7}=7y+48
65y= 49y+336
16y=336
    y=336/16
    y=21
