the present age of Srinu and Mohan are in the ratio of 7 :5, after 10 years their ratio of ages will be 9:7 . find their ages after 15 years .
Answers
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 )
Equate both sides :
=
(# 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 =
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!
