Question

The ages of Sona and Sonali are in the ratio 5:3. Five years hence , the ratio of their ages will be 10: 7 . Find their present ages

Answer 1

Answer :

Let, the present age of Sona = 5x
The age of Sonali = 3x

A. T. Q

5x+5/3x+5 = 10/7

7( 5x+5 ) = 10( 3x+5 )

35x + 35 = 30x + 50

35x - 30x = 50 - 35

5x = 15

x = 15/5

x = 3

Hence, the age of Sona = 5x = 5 × 3 = 15
The age of Sonali = 3x = 3×3 = 9

$\huge {\red {\bold {Answer}}}$

let the present age of sona=>5x

and the age of sonali=>3x

according to question :-

5x+5/3x+5=10/7

=>7( 5x+5 )=10(3x+5)

=>35x+35=30x+50

=>35x-30x=50-35

=>5x=15

x=3

so ,hence

present age of sona=>5x
=>5×3=15 years✔

age of sonali=>3x
=>3×3=9 years ✔

hope it helps you
