Question

The ages of A and B are in the ratio 8:3. Six year hence their ages will be in the ratio 4:9 the percent ages .​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ages of A and B be 8x and 3x respectively.

8x/3x + 6 = 4/9

9 ( 8x + 6 ) = 4 ( 3x + 6 )

72x + 54 = 12x + 24

72x -12x = 24-54

60x = 30

x = 30 / 60

x = 1/2

But, the ages of A And B were 8x and 3x

So....... 8 × 1/2 =4

3 × 1/2 = 3/2

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A'sage be 8x and B's age be 3x

According to question, we have,

3x+6

8x+6

=

4

9

=>32x+24=27x+54

=>5x=30

=>x=6

A's age =8×6=48

B's age =3×6=18

A+B =48+18=66 years
