Question

the ages of ram and raheem are in the ratio 3:4 four years before the ratio of their ages was 5:7 . find their present ages??​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

4 yr ago, let Ram's age = x yr and Shyam's age = 34xyr

Now, Ram's present age = (x + 4) yr and Shyam's present age = (34x+4)yr

According to the question,

56(x+4+4)=(34x+4+4)

4 (5x + 40) = 6(3x + 32)

20x + 160 = 18x + 192

2x = 32

x = 16

Hence, present age of Shyam

= 34×16+4 =16 yr
