Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the ages of ajay and vijay at the ratio of 4:5 and after 5 years later the sum of their ages will be 118.
We need to find out their present ages.
Let's say the present age of Ajay be 4x and of Vijay be 5x years.
After 5 years:
- Age of Ajay = (4x + 5) years
- Age of Vijay = (5x + 5) years
Sum of their ages after 5 years is 118.
As per given statement,
→ 4x + 5 + 5x + 5 = 118
→ 9x + 10 = 118
→ 9x = 118 - 10
→ 9x = 108
→ x = 12
So,
Present age of Ajay = 4x = 4(12) = 48 years
Present age of Vijay = 5x = 12(5) = 60 years
Therefore, the present age of Ajay is 48 years and of Vijay is 60 years.
