MARK ME AS BRAINLIST☺️

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Answer 2

Answer:

Hey mate,

Given :-

• Ages of Ram and David are in the ratio of 5:7. So, Let the age of Ram be 5x and David be 7x.

Five years ago,

• Ram's age was 5x-5.
• David's age was 7x-5.

Now, ATQ,

• 5x-5 + 7x-5 = 38
• 12x-10 =38
• 12x = 38+10
• x = 48/12
• x = 4.

Therefore, Present ages of:-

• Ram is 5*4 = 20
• David is 7*4 = 28.
