Question

The ratio of ages of teena & meena is 4 : 5, twelve years hence their age will be in the ratio of 5 : 6, what will be meena's age after 6 years?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

• The ratio of ages of teena & meena is 4 : 5

• twelve years hence their age will be in the ratio of 5 : 6

lets take present age as 4x ,5x

4x + 12 5

------------- = ------

5x + 12 6

apply cross multiplication method,

24x + 72 = 25x + 60

x = 12 years

present age of teena and meena = 48 : 60

Meena's age after 6 years = 60+6 = 66 yrs
