Question

The ages of Albert and nelson are in ratio 5 : 7 . If 18 years ago , their ages were in the ratio 8 : 13 , then find their present ages . ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

Ratio of Albert and Nelson :- 5 : 7 i.e

=> A / N = 5 / 7 ------------( 1 )

18 years Ago there ages will be in the ratio

=> ( A - 18 ) / ( N - 18 ) = 8 / 13 -------------( 2 )

So solving equation ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) we have

=> Nelson = 70

=> Albert = 50.

So present ages of Nelson and Albert are 70 and 50.

TO CHECK ✅ : A / N = 50 / 70 = 5 : 7 (Equation 1)
