Question

The present ratio between the present age of Ankita and Devika is 5:x. Ankita is 9 years younger
than Anamika. Anamika’s age after 9 years will be 33 years. The difference between Devika and Ankita’s
age is same as the present age of Anamika. What will come in place of x?

Answer 1

Answer:

let suppose Anamika is 24 year old

so difference between devika and Ankita is 24.

as the given condition,

5x-x=24

4x=24

x=24/4

x=6

hence 6will be at the place of x.

Answer 2

Answer:

answer : x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Anamika age after 9 years 33

Therefore ,Anamika present age => 33-9= 24

Ankita is 9 years younger than Anamika => 24-9=15

Difference between Devika and Ankita is same as present age of Anamika.

=> 5:x = 15:3x (equating both side)

so x is 3 times. 3 comes in place of x.

=> x=3
