Question

the difference of the ages of veena and Anu is 21years and ratio of their ages is 9:2 find the veena age and Anu age please answer the question correctly ​

Answer 1

Their ages are in the ratio 9:2 and the difference is 21.

Hence the equation that can be formed will be:—

$\orange{\boxed{ \large{ \red{9x - 2x = 21}}}}$

Solving the equation we get:–

==>9x – 2x = 21

==>7x = 21

==>x = 21 ÷ 7

==>x = 3

Hence the ages are:—

Veena = 9 × x = 9 × 3 = 27

Anu = 2 × x = 2 × 3 = 6
