Question

the ages of Rahul and Haroon are in the ratio 5 is to 7 four years later the sum of the ages will be 56 years what are their present ages​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let Rahul's age be 5x and Haroon's age be 7x

Four years later their ages will be 5x+4 and 7x+4

ATQ

5X+4+7X+4= 56 YEARS

12x+8= 56

12x= 56-8

12x= 48

x= 48/12

x=4

Rahuls present age= 5x = 5*4= 20 years

Haroons present age = 7x= 7*4= 28 years

Answer 2

$\huge{\underline{\bigstar{\sf{solution !!}}}}$

The ages of Rahul and Haroon are in the ratio 5:7

Let Rahul’s present age=5x

Haroon present age=7x

Four years later the sum of their ages will be 56 years. So according to the condition,

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

12x+8=56

12x=56–8

12x=48

x=48/12

x=4

Therefore

$\large{\boxed{\sf{Rahul’s\: present \:age = 5*4=20years}}}$

$\large{\boxed{\sf{Haroon’s\: present \: age =7*4=28years}}}$
