EXPLANATION.

Let the age age of rahul be = 5x

Let the age of haroon be = 7x

After 4 years, later

Let the present age of rahul = ( 5x + 4 )

Let the present age of haroon be = ( 7x + 4 )

The sum of there ages will be = 56.

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

=> 5x + 4 + 7x + 4 = 56

=> 12x + 8 = 56

=> 12x = 48

=> x = 4

Therefore,

Present age of rahul = 5x = 5(4) = 20 years.

present age of haroon = 7x = 7(4) = 28 years.

\huge{\mathcal{\underline{\green{ANSWER}}}}

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 Rahul’s present age =5×4=20years

Haroon’s present age=7×4=28years
