Answer 2

Answer:

Ritu's age= 60 years and Neetu's age=32years

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question,

We have been given that present ages of Reetu and Neetu are in the ratio15:8

after 10 years their ages will be in the ratio 5:3

To find Present age of reetu and neetu

Let the ratio of age of Ritu and Neetu be x

Reetu:Neetu=15x:8x

After 10 years,

$\frac{15x+10}{8x+10}=\frac{5}{3}$

Cross multiplying we get,

45x+30=40x+50

5x=20

x=4

Reetu's present age=15x=15×4=60 years

Neetu's present age=8x=8×4=32 years
