Question

The ages of rahul and laxmi are in the ratio 9:4.four years later the sum of their ages will be 60 years.what are their present ages​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ratio is: 9x : 4x

After four years the age would be

Rahul: 9x + 4

Laxmi: 4x + 4

9x+4 + 4x+4=60

13x+8=60

13x=60-8=52

x=52/13=4

present age: 9x=9 x 4 =36 year (Rahul)

Laxmi:4x4=16 year

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

let their ages be 9x and 4x.

so according to the question

(9x + 4) + (4x + 4) = 60

13x + 8 = 60

13x = 60 -8

13x = 52

x = 52/13

x = 4

Then the ages of Rahul will be 36 years and Laxmi will be 16 years old.
