The present ages of Veeru and Neeru are in the ratio 3:4. Five years from
now, the ratio of their ages will be 4:5. Find their present ages.
Answers
Answer:
Let Veeru present age = 3X
Let Neeru present age = 4X
Let The age of Veeru after 5 years = 3X + 5
Let The age of Neeru after 5 years = 4X + 5
ATQ :-
_____
3X+5/4X+5 = 4/5
Now you should solve the given equation and your answer is obtained as X .
After that you are able to find their present ages
Concept:
Fraction is the numerical representation of the numbers in the form of numerator and denominator.
Given:
The present ages of Veeru and Neeru = 3:4
And,
After five years,
The ratio of their ages = 4:5.
Find:
We are asked to find the present ages of Veeru and Neeru.
Solution:
We have,
The present ages of Veeru and Neeru = 3:4
And,
After five years,
The ratio of their ages = 4:5.
Now,
Let,
Present Age of Veeru = 3x
And,
Present Age of Neeru = 4x
So,
According to the question,
After five years,
i.e.
(3x + 5)/(4x + 5) = 4/5
On solving,
We get,
15x + 25 = 16x + 20
Now,
On solving,
We get,
x = 5
So,
Present Age of Veeru = 3x = 3 × 5 = 15 years
And,
Present Age of Neeru = 4x = 4 × 5 = 20 years
Hence, the present ages of Veeru and Neeru are 15 years and 20 years.
