Answer 2

Present age of Neha = 20 years

Present age of Ajay = 28 years

Given

The ages of Neha and Ajay are in the ratio 5:7

Four years later the sum of their ages will be 56 years

To Find

Present ages

Solution

Let ,

Present age of Neha be , " 5x "

Present age of Ajay be , " 7x "

Four years later the sum of their ages will be 56 years

⇒ ( 5x + 4 ) + ( 7x + 4 ) = 56

⇒ 12x + 8 = 56

⇒ 12x = 48

⇒ x = 4 $\green{\bigstar}$

So ,

Present age of Neha , 5x = 5(4) = 20 years

Present age of Ajay , 7x = 7(4) = 28 years
