Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Rahul's age be 5x.

Let Haroon's age be 7x.

Sum of their ages is 56.

A/Q

        ( 5x + 4 ) + ( 7x + 4 ) = 56

        5x + 4 + 7x + 4 = 56

         5x + 7x = 56 - 4 - 4

         12x = 56 - 8

          12x = 48

             x = 48/12

             x = 4

Present age of Rahul = 5x = 5 X 4 = 20 yrs

Present age of Haroon = 7x = 7 X 4 = 28 yrs

HAVE A GOOD DAY!!
