Let the present ages of Vishal and Hishal be
4x years and 5x years respectively.
After 8 years,
Vishal's age = 4x+8
Hishal's age = 5x+8
Also, the ratio is given 5:6
So, according to the given problem,
=> 6(4x+8) = 5(5x+8)
=> 24x+48 = 25x+40
=> 24x-25x = 40-48
=> x=8
So, present age of Vishal = (4×8) years = 32 years.
Present age of Hishal = (5×8) years = 40 years

====================================
The present ages of Vishal and Hishal are in ratio 4:5. Eight years hence, the ratio of their ages will be 5:6. Find their ages.
Let the present age of Vishal be '4x'.
Then, present age of Hishal = 5x
Eight years hence,
Vishal's age = 4x + 8
Hishal's age = 5x + 8
But, according to the question, their ages will become in ratio 5:6.
Then,
4x+8 : 5x+8 = 5 : 6
=> 4x+8/5x+8 = 5/6
Cross multiplying, we get,
=> 5(5x+8) = 6(4x+8)
=> 25x + 40 = 24x + 48
=> 25x - 24x = 48 - 40
=> x = 8
So, Vishal's present age
= 4x
= 4 × 8
= 32
And, Hishal's age
= 5x
= 5 × 8
= 40
