Answer 2

✬ Veeru = 15 Years ✬

✬ Neeru = 20 Years ✬

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• The present ages of Veeru & Neeru are in ratio 3 : 4.
• Five years from now their ages will be in ratio 4 : 5.

To Find:

• What is their present ages ?

Solution: Let x be the common in given ratio. So present ages of Veeru and Neeru are in ratio 3x : 4x.

➨ After fiver year their ages will be

• Neeru's age = (3x + 5) years.
• Veeru's age = (4x + 5) years.

A/q

• Five years from now the ratio of their ages will be 4 : 5.

$\implies{\rm }$ (3x + 5) : (4x + 5) = 4 : 5

$\implies{\rm }$ (3x + 5) / (4x + 5) = 4/5

$\implies{\rm }$ 5 (3x + 5) = 4 (4x + 5)

$\implies{\rm }$ 15x + 25 = 16x + 20

$\implies{\rm }$ 25 – 20 = 16x – 15x

$\implies{\rm }$ 5 = x

Hence, Their present ages are

➱ Veeru's age = 3x = 3(5) = 15 Years.

➱ Neeru's age = 4x = 4(5) = 20 Years.
