See below

Step-by-step explanation:

3 + 5 = 8

Priya = 3/8 × 56 = 21

Riya = 5/8 × 56 = 35

Answer 2

Answer:

Priya's age is 21 years

Riya's age is 35 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The ages of Priya and Riya are in the ratio of 3:5

Priya's age is 3x

Riya's age is 5x

Sum of their ages is 56 years

So 3x + 5x = 56

8x = 56

x = 7

Priya's age is 21 years

Riya's age is 35 years
