Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer :

Ratio of their ages after 4 years = 14 : 16 : 19

Given :

Ratio of ages of three brothers = 12 : 14 : 17

Difference between ages of elder and eldest = 6 years

To Find :

Ratio of their ages after 4 years.

Solution :

Let, the ages of the three brothers be 12x, 14x, 17x

Difference b/w elder and eldest = 6 years

17x - 14x = 6

3x = 6

x = 2

The ages of three brothers,

12x = 24

14x = 28

17x = 34

After 4 years, their ages will be 28, 32, 38.

Ratio = 28 : 32 : 38

= 14 : 16 : 19
