plsss help!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

At present, the ratio between the ages of Arun and Deepak is 4 : 3. After 6 years, Arun's age will be 26 years, then what is the age of Deepak at present?

Let the rational between their ages be x, therefore Arun's age is 4x and Deepak age is 3x

Thus after 6 years their respective ages will be,

Arun's age after 6 years = 4x + 6

Deepak's age after 6 years = 3x + 6

As per statement after 6 years, Arun's age will be 26 years, means

4x + 6 = 26

On solving the equation

4x = 26 - 6

4x = 20

x = 20/4

x = 5

The rational is 5, Therefore the present

Age of Arun : 4x = 4 × 5 = 20 years

Age of Deepak : 3x = 3 × 5 = 15 years

Answer the present age of Deepak is 15 years.
