The present ages of Ankita and Sunita are in the ratio is 6:7.  6 years hence this ratio will become 7:8 respectively.  What is Ankita’s present age in years?

◀  Method of Solution: ◀

→ Let their Present age will be x,

→ Present ages of Ankita and Sunita are in the ratio is 6:7.

⇒ 6x/7x

→ According to the Question's Statement!

⇒ 6x+6/7x+6 = 7/8

⇒ 8(6x+6)=7(7x+6)

⇒ 48x+48=49x+42

⇒ 48x-49x = 42-48

⇒ -x = -6

•°• x = 6

Then, → Present Age of Ankitha's = 6x

•°• Present age of Ankitha's = 36 Years

Answer 2

A/Q,


6x+6/7x+6 = 7/8

8{6x+6)}=7{7x+6}

48x+48=49x+42

48x-49x = 42-48

x = 6



Present age of Ankitha's = 36 Years
