Question

The ages of sunil and Manish is 6:5.ten years ago,their ages were in the ratio 3:2.Find their present ages.Please answer fast.

Answer 1

let age of sunil be 6x
let age of manish be 5x
ten years ago their ages were

6x-10:5x-10.
which implies that,
6x-10/5x-10 = 3/2
on cross multiplication,
3(5x-10)=2(6x-10)
15x-30=12x-20
3x=10
x=10/3
sunil age=20
manish age=16.6
this is the answer.
but the answer shouldn't end up this way.
