Answer 2

Answer:

Given :

• The present ages of Rohit and Mayank are in the ratio 11 : 8
• 8 years later the sum of their ages will be 54 years.

To Find :

• Present Age of Rohit and Mayank .

Let :

• Present age of Rohit be = 11x
• Present age of Mayank = 8x

Ages after 8 years,

• Rohit age = 11x + 8
• Mayank age = 8x + 8

By the question,

$(11x + 8) + (8x + 8) = 54$

$\implies11x + 8 + 8x + 8 = 54$

$\implies19 + 16 = 54$

$\implies19 = 54 - 16$

$\implies19x = 38$

$\implies \: x = 2$

Hence,

• Present age of Rohit = 11x = 11 × 2 = 22 yrs
• Present age of Mayank = 8x = 8 × 2 = 16 yrs
