Question

The ages of Rahul and Haroon are in the ratioout 5:7. Four years later the sum of their age will be 56 years. What are their present ages.​

Answer 1

Answer:

let common term be x then

5x+4+7x+4=56

12x+8=56

12x=56-8

12x=48x=48/12

x=4

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Rahul age be 5 x

Haroon age be 7 x

4 years later:

Rahul age = 5 x + 4

Haroon age = 7 x+ 4

A.T.Q

5 x+ 4+ 7 x+4= 56

12 x+ 8 = 56

12 x = 56- 8

12 x = 48

x = 48/12

x = 4

So , Rahul age = 5 x = 5 x 4 = 20 years

      Haroon age = 7 x = 7 x 4 = 28 years
