Question

The ages of Tani and Daizy are in the ratio 5:9. Eight years later, sum of their ages will be 86
years. What are their present ages?​

Answer 1

Answer: 45 YEARS AND 25 YEARS

Step-by-step explanation: let the present age tani and daizy be 5x and 9x

tani s age after 8 years= 5x + 8                daizy s age after 8 years= 9x +8

5x + 8 + 9x + 8 = 86

14x + 16 = 86

14x = 86 - 16

14x= 70

x= 70/14

x=5

tania s age after 8 years= (5 X 5) + 8 = 33 YEARS

DAIZY S AGE AFTER 8 YEARS =( 9 X 5) + 8= 53

TANIA S PRESENT AGE = 9X5 = 45 YEARS

DAIZY S PRESENT AGE = 5X5= 25 YEARS
