Answer:
5:2
Step-by-step explanation:
The present age of Hari Krishna = 60 years
The present age of Manish = 30 years
10 years ago age of Hari Krishna = 60-10 = 50 years
10 years ago age of Manish = 30-10 = 20 years
Ratio of their ages 10 years ago = 50 : 20
= 5 : 2
The ratio of the age of Manish to the age of Hari Kishan 10 years ago will be 2:5 (option a).
Given,
The present age of Hari Kishan = 60 years
The present age of Manish = 30 years
To find,
The ratio of the age of Manish to the age of Hari Kishan 10 years ago.
Solution,
The ratio of the age of Manish to the age of Hari Kishan 10 years ago will be 2:5.
We can easily solve this problem by following the given steps.
According to the question,
The present age of Hari Kishan = 60 years
The present age of Manish = 30 years
So, their age 10 years ago will be:
Age of Hari Kishan = (60-10) years
Age of Hari Kishan = 50 years
Age of Manish = (30-10) years
Age of Manish = 20 years
The ratio of the age of Manish to the age of Hari Kishan 10 years ago = 20:50
Converting the ratio into the simplest form,
Ratio = 2:5
Hence, the ratio of the age of Manish to the age of Hari Kishan 10 years ago is 2:5.
