Question

The ages of Sahil and Anwar 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:

20 yrs nd 28 yrs respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio of ages of sahil nd anwar= 5:7

let there present ages be 5x nd 7x

now after four yrs there ages will be (5x+4) and (7x+4) respectively

ATQ, sum of ages after 4 yrs is 56

therefore, 5x+4+7x+4=56

12x+8 =56

12x. = 48

x=4

now Sahil's age= 5x = 20 yrs

Anwar's age=7x = 28yrs
