Question

The ratio of ages of Sheela and Rekha is
4:3. The sum of their ages is 28. What
will be the ratio of their ages after 8
years?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the ages of M and M be 4k & 3k . Then it is given that (4k + 3k) = 28 ==> k = 4 . Therefore present age of Mini & Minakshi are 16 and 12 . After 8 years they become 24 & 20 yrs of age ; so the ratio between their ages after 8 yrs will be 6 : 5 .

Answer 2

Answer:-

Given:

Ratio of ages of Sheela and Rekha = 4 : 3

Sum of their ages = 28 years.

Let their ages be 4x , 3x.

So, 4x + 3x = 28

⟶ 7x = 28

⟶ x = 28/7

⟶ x = 4

Hence,

• Sheela's age = 4x = 4(4) = 16 years.
• Rekha's age = 3x = 3(4) = 12 years.

Now,

Ratio of their ages after 8 years = (16 + 8) : (12 + 8)

⟶ Ratio of their ages after 8 years = 24 : 20

∴ Ratio of their ages after 8 years = 6 : 5
