Question

The ages of Manvi and Sai are in the ratio 3:5. Five years ay the difference of their ages was 4 years. Find their present ages. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Manvi's age = 3x = 3×3 = 9 years

Sai's age = 5x = 5×3 = 15 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the mean ratio of their ages be x

So, the present age of Manvi = 3x

the present age of Sai = 5x

FIVE YEARS FROM NOW

Their ages:

Manvi = 3x+5

Sai = 5x+5

A/q 3x+5-5x+5 = 4

-2x+10=4

-2x=4-10

-2x= -6

x = -6÷-2

x= 3

HENCE, Manvi's age = 3x = 3×3 = 9 years

Sai's age = 5x = 5×3 = 15 years
