Question

the ages of mohan and ram are in ratio 5:7 four years later, their ages will be in ratio 3:4. find their ages

Answer 1

Hey.

Let age of Mohan and Ram be 5x and 7x

4 years later :

Mohan = 5x + 4

Ram = 7x + 4

But according to question;

(5x+4)/(7x+4) = 3/4

=> 20x + 16 = 21x + 12

=> x = 4


So, Mohan = 4×5 = 20 years

Ram = 4×7 = 28 years

Thanks.
