Question

The difference between the ages of "suneeta" and sangeeta is 5 years. If the ratio of their ages is 3:2, find the ages

Answer 1

Answer:

Suneeta's age - 15 yrs

Sangeeta's age - 10 yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let age of suneeta be x

age of sangeeta be y

According to the statement,

x - y =5 ...........1

x/y = 3/2

By Cross multiplication

2x = 3y

2x/3 = y

Put value of y in eq.1

x-y = 5

x - 2x/3 = 5 by l.c.m

3x-2x/3 = 5

x =15

put value of x in 1

x-y=5

15-y =5

-y = 5-15

-y =-10

y = 10

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

difference Between their ages = 5 years

let suneeta's age = X+5

therefore, Sangeeta's age= X

according to question,

ratio of their ages = 3:2

=3/2

therefore,

X+5/X=3/2

2(X+5)= 3(X)

2x+10=3X

3x-2x=10

X=10

suneeta's age =X+5

=10+5

=15 years

Sangeeta's age=X

= 10 years

hope this will help
