Question

the present ages of Rajiv and Monika are in ratio 5:2 17 years ago. the ratio of the ages 4:1 find their present ages​

Answer 1

Answer: Rajiv's age is 85 years and Monica's age is 34 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Rajiv's and Monica's ages are in the ration 5:2, we can write their ages as 5x and 2x respectively.

Before 17 years their ages were 5x-17 and 2x-17

So (5x-17)/(2x-17)=4/1

5x-17 = 4(2x-17)

5x-17=8x-68

3x=51

x=17

So Rajiv's age is 17x5=85 years and Monica's age is 17x2=34 years68/17
