Question

The present age of ram and shyam are in the ratio 4:5.four years from now their ages will be in the ratio 5:6.find their present age

Answer 1

♦GOOD MORNING ♦

let the present Age of Ram and Shyam be in the ratio 4x : 5x

After 4 years Ratio of their Ages will be

(4x + 4) : (5x + 4)

According to the Given Question!

(4x + 4)/(5x + 4) = 5/6

24x + 24 = 25x + 20

24x - 25x = 20 - 24

-x = -4

x = 4

So, present Age of Ram is 4 × 4 = 16yeras.

And

Present Age of Shyam is 5 × 4 = 20 years

Answer 2

Answer:

The present age of Ram = 25 years.

The present age of Shyam = 30 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Ram be 5x.

Let the present age of Shyam be 6x.

Five years ago,

The age of Ram = 5x - 5

The age of Shyam = 6x - 5

According to the given information,

=> (5x - 5)/(6x - 5) = 4/5

=> 5(5x - 5) = 4(6x - 5)

=> 25x - 25 = 24x - 20

=> 25x - 24x = -20 + 25

=> 25x - 24x = 25 - 20

=> x = 5

.°. x = 5

Therefore,

Now, putting the given values of x.

The present age of Ram

=> 5x = 5 × 5 = 25 years

The present age of Shyam

=> 6x = 6 × 5 = 30 years
