Question

The present ages of Anu and Raj are in the ratio 4:5. Eight years from now, the ratio of their ages will be 5:6.Find their present ages.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let ages if them be 4x and 5x

according to Question:

4x+8+5x+8 = 5x+6x

9x+16=11x

11x-9x=16

2x=16

x=16/2

x=8

present age of anu = 4x = 4*8 = 32

present age of raj = 5x = 5*8 = 40

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Anu is 4x.Then, the present age of Raj will be 5x

8 years from now,

(4x+8)/(5x+8) = 5/6

24x+48 = 25x+40

24x - 25x = 40 - 48

-x = -8 [ here both the signs are same so - get cancelled ]

x = 8

so, Present age of Anu is 32 years and present age of Raj is 40 years.
