let the present ages of Aman and naman is 4x and 5x .
After 8 year , age of Aman is 4x+8 and age of naman is 5x+8
now according to questions
=> (4x+8)/(5x+8) = 5/6
=>6(4x+8)= 5(5x+8)
=>24x+48= 25x+40
=>(25-24)x = 48-40
=>x = 8
so , present age of
Aman = 4x = 4×8 = 32
Naman = 5x = 5×8=40
After 8 year , age of Aman is 4x+8 and age of naman is 5x+8
now according to questions
=> (4x+8)/(5x+8) = 5/6
=>6(4x+8)= 5(5x+8)
=>24x+48= 25x+40
=>(25-24)x = 48-40
=>x = 8
so , present age of
Aman = 4x = 4×8 = 32
Naman = 5x = 5×8=40

===>
hey ,, the given ratio is,,,
4:5,,,
let their unknown age be x,,
,, hence after 8 years,,,,
their ages are in ratio 5 : 6...
this is given by....
4x+ 8/5x+ 8 = 5/6
6(4x+8) = 5(5x+8)
24x + 48 = 25 x + 40
25x - 24x = 48 - 40
x = 8,,,
hence,,, their ages are ,,,,
4x= 4(8) = 32 = 32..aman's age..
5x = 5(8) = 40 = 40...naman's age...
