Question

The present ages of Ram and Laxman are in the ratio 8:9, After 5 years, the ratio of their ages will be 9:10, find the present ages.​

Answer 1

Answer:

40, 45

Step-by-step explanation:

ram's age is 8x

laxman's age is 9x

after 5years

ram's age=8x+5

laxman's age =9x+5

(8x+5)/(9x+5)=9/10

80x+50=81x+45

x=5

ram's age is 8x which is 40

laxman's age is 9x which is 45

Answer 2

8x+5/9x+5 = 9x/10x

(8x+5)*10x = 9x * (9x+5)

80x^2+50x = 81x^2+ 45x

x^2 = 5x

x= 5

Ram's age : 8x = 8*5 = 40 yrs

Laxman's age : 9x = 9*5 = 45 yrs
