Answer                                                                  

Present Age of A =35

Present Age of B =25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Present ages ofA and B be 7x and 5x respectively.

After 10 years, their ages will be (7x +10) and (5x + 10)

Given

(7x +10) : (5x + 10) = 9 : 7

⇒7(7x + 10)= 9(5x + 10)    Product of extremes = Product of means

⇒49x+ 70= 45x + 90

⇒49x - 45x = 90-70

⇒4x= 20

⇒x=20/4

⇒x=5

∴Age of A = 7x = 7 x 5 =35

Age of B = 5x = 5 x 5 =25

Answer:

50 and 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present ages of Srinu and Mohan be 7x and 5x.

After 10 years, so let's add 10 to each of their ages : 7x + 10 , 5x + 10

After 10 years, their age ratio will be- 9 : 7 ( it can also be written as \frac{9}{7})

Equate both sides :

\frac{7x + 10}{5x + 10} = \frac{9}{7}

(# Cross multiply)

7(7x +  10) = 9(5x + 10)

49x + 70 = 45x + 90

(# Take all the variable and constant values to separate sides)

49x - 45x = 90 - 70

(# Remember to change the signs while transposing)

4x = 20

x = \frac{20}{4}

x = 5

Now, they asked us to find their ages after 15 years, so their ages would be : present age + 15

Srinu's age after 15 years : 7x + 15 ⇒ 7(5) + 15 ⇒ 35 + 15 = 50

Mohan's age after 15 years : 5x + 15 ⇒ 5(5) + 15 ⇒ 25 + 15 = 40

The ages of Srinu and Mohan after 15 years will be 50 and 40 respectively.

Hope it helps!
