Question

the ages of sahil and nikhil are in ratio 4:3. five years hence the ratio of their ages will be 5:4. find their present ages.

Answer 1

let present age=4x and 3x
then 5 year hence their age will be=4x+5,3x+5
so,it is given that 4x+5/3x+5=5/4
16x+20=15x+25
x=5
so shail age will be 20 and nikhil age will be 15                                                                                                                       

Answer 2

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

let, the common multiplier be X .

and the present ages of Sahil and Nikhil are ratio 4:3

therefore 4x:3x=4x/3x

5 year hence ,

4x+5/3x+5=5/4

16x+20=15x+25

[x=5]

so sahil's age is 20 and Nikhil age is 15 .

These is the answer
