Answer:
Present age of Anil = 14 years
Present age of Sunil = 10 years
After x years ,
The ratio of their ages will become 5 : 4
So ,
Anil's age = ( 14 + x ) years
Sunil's age = ( 10 + x ) years
➢ ( 14 + x ) / ( 10 + x ) = 5 : 4
➢ 4 ( 14 + x ) = 5 ( 10 + x )
➢ 56 + 4x = 50 + 5x
➢ 56 - 50 = 5x - 4x
➢ 6 = x
➢ x = 6

Answer :-
Given :-
- Present age of Anil = 14
- Present age of Sunil = 10
To Find :-
- After how many years will the ratio become 5 : 4.
Solution :-
Let the number of years after which the ratio of their age will become 5 : 4 be x.
Age after x years -
→ Anil's age = 14 + x
→ Sunil's age = 10 + x
According to the question :-
→ 14 + x : 10 + x = 5 : 4
→ 14 + x / 10 + x = 5 / 4
→ 4 ( 14 + x ) = 5 ( 10 + x )
→ 56 + 4x = 50 + 5x
→ 5x - 4x = 56 - 50
→ x = 6
Hence, after 6 years the ratio of Anil's age and Sunil's will be 5 : 4.
