Question

The ages of Anu and Raj are in the ratio 4:5. Eight years from now the ratio of their ages will be 5:6. Find their present ages.

Answer 1

Answer:

let the present age of Anu be 4x

                                             and present age o Raj be 5x

                     AFTER 8 YEARS ratios are 5x and 6x

4x +8=5x

4x-5x=-8

-x=-8

therefore x =8

therefore present age of Au is 4 x=32 years

and present age of Raj is 5x =40 years

if there is any problem then ask it

Answer 2

Hey User,

Here is Your answer,

Let the ages be "x".

$\bf\blue{Anu's\:age=4x}$

$\bf\blue{Raj's\:age=5x}$

Atq.

Eight years later their ratio of the ages will become 5:6.

To Find

Present ages.

Now,

After 8 years.

$\bf\blue{Anu's\:age=4x+8}$

$\bf\blue{Raj's\:age=5x+8}$

$4x+8/5x+8=5/6$

Cross multiplication.

$24x+48=25x+40$

$x=8$

So,

Anu's present age=4×8=32yrs.

Raj's present age=5×8=40.

Thank You!
