Question

The ratio between present ages of Renuka and Sony is 5 : 4 . 4 years ago, Sony's age was 24 years. What will be Renuka's age after 5 years ?
A) 25
B) 30
C) 35
D) 40

Answer 1

Let ages of Renuka and Sony be 5x and 4x respectively. According to given question, 4 x minus 4 is equals to 24 so X is equals to 7. hence present age of Renuka will be 35 years and after 5 years she will be of 40 years.

Answer 2

Answer:

D) 40 years.

Renuka's age after 5 years will be 40 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The ratio between the ages of Renuka and Sony is 5:4. 4 years ago Sony's age was 24 years.

If we assume the age of :

➪ Renuka = $5x$ years.

➪ Sony = $4x$ years.

Therefore, 4 years ago Sony's age will be :

➪ $4x - 4$ years.

But, the age 4 years ago was 24 years (given)

So, we can say that,

$\implies (4x - 4) = 24$

Solving for $x$ :

$\implies 4x - 4 = 24$

$\implies 4x = 24 + 4$

$\implies 4x = 28$

$\implies x = \dfrac{28}{4}$

$\implies x = 7 \bf years.$

Therefore, the value of $x$ is 7 years.

Renuka's present age is :

$\to 5x = \bf 5(7) = 35 years.$

After 5 years Renuka's age will be :

$\to \bf 35 + 5 = {\green{40 \: years }}$
