Let the ages be 8x and 5x

Given that sum of their ages is 39

8x+5x =39

13x =39

x=39/13

x=3

Now,

Age of A =8x =8*3 =24 years

Age of B =5x =5*3 =15 years

Answer 2

The answer is given below :

The ratio of the ages of A and B is
= 8 : 5

Let, the common multiple be x.

Then the ages of A and B are 8x years and 5x years respectively.

Given that, the sum of the ages = 39

=> 8x + 5x = 39

=> 13x = 39

=> x = 3

Therefore, the ages of A and B are 24 years and 15 years respectively.

Thank you for your question.
