Let the age of Rahul be 5x and age of Haroon be 7x
Given, after 4 years, the sum of their ages will be 56 years.
So, 5x + 4 and 7x + 4
According to the question,
5x + 4 + 7x + 4 = 56
12x + 8 = 56
12x = 56 - 8
12x = 48
x =
x = 4
∴ Age of Rahul = 5x = 5 * 4 = 20 years
∴ Age of Haroon = 7x = 7 * 4 = 28 years
Given, after 4 years, the sum of their ages will be 56 years.
So, 5x + 4 and 7x + 4
According to the question,
5x + 4 + 7x + 4 = 56
12x + 8 = 56
12x = 56 - 8
12x = 48
