the ages of Arjun and Trupti are in a ratio of 2:3. Ten years later the sum of their ages will be 45 years. What are their present ages?

Answer 1

Answer:

let the ratio 2:3 be 2x and 3x

Arjun 2x

trupti 3x

sum of ages=45

hence 2x+3x=45

5x=45

x=9

therefore arjun age =2×9=18

trupti age=3×9=27

hope it helps you

Answer 2

Answer:

let ages:-2x,3x

After ten years

2x+3x+10=45

5x=45-10=35

x=35/5=7

2x=14

3x=21
