7:5
after 10 years= 9:7
4x=10
x= 2.5

17.5 nd 12.5
22.5 nd 17.5

so current age will be 35:25 (7:5)
and after 10 year ii will be 45:35 (9:7)

Done



flower99: can u answer in detail
eduatulrajp3br2d: and multiply 5×7=35....nd 5×9=45
eduatulrajp3br2d: in 10 yrs the ratio increased by 2. so divide 10/2 =5. and now multiply 5 with the ratios you will get the ans..
eduatulrajp3br2d: i hv used 2.5 as jst half of 5.

Hi Flower ,

Let the present age of Sonal be s
Let the present age of Manoj be m

Given
ages of sonal and manoj are in the ratio of 7:5
s/m = 7/5  ....(1)

ten years hence the ratio of their ages will be 9:7
Note: " Ten years hence" means after 10 years

s+10 / m+10  =  9 / 7  ....(2)

from eq(1)
s =7m / 5

from eq(2) by cross multiplying
7(s+10) = 9(m+10)
7s + 70 = 9m + 90
7s = 9m +20

put s
=7m / 5 in above equation
7*7m/5 = 9m + 20
49m/5 - 9m = 20
m (49/5 - 9) = 20
m (4/5) = 20
m = 25

from eq(1)
s/m = 7/5
s= 7m/5 = 35

Their present ages are
Sonal = s = 35 years
Manoj
= m = 25 years

Hope it helped.
Let me know if any doubts.
Cheers !!!
