Question

the lcm of samved and pruthas age is 40 and their ratio of their ages is 2 is to 5.find the sum of their ages​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the common ratio is x

so samved s age is 2x year

pruthas age is 5x year

lcm of 2x and 5x is 2.5.x=10x

10x=40

=> x=40/10=4

samved age is 2.4years=8years

pruthas age is 5.4 years =20years

sum of their age is (8+20)years=28years

Answer 2

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

2x : 5x

lcm of 2x and 5x is 10x

10x = 40

x = 4

so 2x = 8

5x = 20

sum = 20+8 = 28 years
