Question

The present ages of Tina and Mina are in the ratio 4:5. If the sum of their ages after three years would be 33 years, find their present ages.

Answer 1

Answer:

let the ages be 4x and 5x respectively

after three years

(4x+3) is Tina's age after three years

(5x+3) is Mina's age after 3 yrs

(4x+3)+(5x+3)=9x+6

9x+6=33

9x=33-6

9x=27

x=27/9=3

their present ages

4*3=12 years

5*3=15 yrs

I suppose these are the answers
