The present ages of two children Shikhar and Jhon are in ratio 5:8.Four years later the sum of their ages will be 34. Find their present ages
explain with process and steps​

Answer 1

Answer:

If the current age is x, then n times the age is nx.

If the current age is x, then age n years later/hence = x + n.

If the current age is x, then age n years ago = x - n.

The ages in a ratio a : b will be ax and bx.

If the current age is x, then 1/n of the age is x/n
