Question

The ages of Raul and haroon are in the ratio 5:7 four years later the sum of their ages will be 56 years. What are their present ages

Answer 1

Answer:

The present ages of Rahul and Haroon are 20 and 28 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Rahul's age = 5x

Let Haroon's age = 7x

A/Q (5x+4)+(7x+4) = 56

5x+7x+8 = 56

12x = 48

x = 4

Rahul's age = 5x = 5x4 = 20 years

Haroon's age = 7x = 7x4 = 28 years

Answer 2

5:7

Let the ages be x

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

12x + 8 = 56

12x = 56- 8

12x = 48

x= 4

Raul's present age = 5 * 4 =20

Haroon's present age = 7 * 4 = 28
