Answer:
SONAL AGE= 35 yrs and MANOJ AGE= 25 yrs
Step-by-step explanation:
RATIO OF THE PRESENT AGE OF SONAL AND MANOJ = 7:5
LET THEIR PRESENT AGE BE = 7x and 5x
10 years hence,
Sonal's age = 7x + 10 & Manoj's age = 5x + 10
Therefore, ratio of their age = 7x+10 : 5x+10
Given:
=>7x+10 : 5x+10 = 9:7
=>(7x+10) / (5x+10) = 9/7 (CROSS MULTIPLICATION)
=>7(7x+10) = 9 (5x+10)
=>49x + 70 = 45x + 90
=>4x = 20
=>x = 5
Therefore, present age of Sonal = 7x = 7 * 5 = 35 years
and present age of Manoj = 5x = 5 * 5 = 25 years.
HOPE THE ANSWER IS CORRECT.
