Answer 2

Answer:

Rahul = 20

Haroon = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the part of each age.

So, Rahul's present age = 5x

Haroon's present age = 7x

After 4 years,

Rahul age will be 5x + 4

Haroon age will be 7x + 4

According to question

5x + 4 + 7x + 4 = 56

=> 12x + 8 = 56

=> 12x = 56-8

=> x = 48/12

therefore, x = 4

Now, 5x = 5 × 4 = 20

7x = 7 × 4 = 28

Hence , present age of Rahul = 20

present age of Haroon = 28
