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

$\huge{\boxed{\huge{\red\star\mathfrak\purple{\large{\underline{\underline{ Answer!}}}}}}}$

Let the common ratio be x

Age of Rahul= 5x

Age of Haroon=7x

Sum of Age after 4 years= 56 years

Age of Rahul after 4 years= 5x+4

Age of Haroon after 4 years= 7x+4

Now, Accordingto the question

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

⟹12x+8= 56

⟹12x= 56-8

⟹12x= 48

$\huge \boxed{ \mathfrak \red{\implies \: x = \frac{48}{12} }}$

⟹x= 4

$\boxed{ \bold \red{5x = 5 \times 4 = 20}}$

$\boxed{ \bold \purple{7x = 7 \times 4 = 28}}$

Present age of Rahul = 20 years

Present age of Haroon= 28 years
