Question

The ages of Rahul & Haroon are in the ratio 5:7. Four years later the sum of their ages will be 56 years. What are their present ages? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rahul's age = 20

Haroon's age = 28

Step by step explanation:

Let the age of Rahul and Haroon be 5x and 7x

4 years later

Rahul age will be 5x+4

Haroon age will be 7 x + 4

according to question

5 x + 4 + 7x + 4 = 56

12 x + 8 = 56

12 x = 48

x= 4

their present age:

Rahul = 5x= 5×4=20

Haroon= 7x= 7×4= 28

Answer 2

Answer:

This is your answer:-

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Rahul be 5x

Let the present age of Haroon be 7x

FOUR YEARS LATER:-

AGE OF RAHUL = (5x+4)

AGE OF HAROON = (7x+4)

BY GIVEN CONDITION,

(5x+4)+(7x+4)= 56

5x+4+7x+4=56

12x+8=56

12x=56-8

12x=48

x=48/12

x=4

Therefore PRESENT age of Rahul = 5*4=20

PRESENT age of Haroon = 7*4=28
