The age of Rahul and Haroon are in the ratio 5:7. Four years later the sum of ages will be 56 years. What are their present ages?
Let the current age of Rahul and Haroon be 5x and 7x respectively
Four years later their ages become 5x + 4 and 7x + 4 respectively.
According to the question,
5x + 4 +7x + 4 = 56
or 12x + 8 = 56
Transposing 8 to the RHS we get,
12x = 48
Dividing both sides by 12 gives,
x = 48/12 = 4
___________________________________
Thus current age of Rahul = 5*4 = 20
Haroon = 7*4 = 28
