Hey Friend!
Here is your answer:
Given,
Ratio of ages of Anu & Priyal is 4:5
Ratios of their ages after 10 years is 5:6
Let Anu's age be 4x yrs and Priyal's age be 5x yrs,
Then,
After 10 years:
Anu's age = 4x + 10 yrs
Priyal's age = 5x + 10 yrs
Ratio = (4x + 10) : (5x + 10)
but given ratio is 5:6
⇒ = ⁵/₆
⇒ 6 (4x + 10) = 5 (5x + 10)
⇒ 24x + 60 = 25x + 50
⇒ 25x - 24x = 60 - 50
⇒ x = 10 yrs
∴ Anu's age is 4 × 10 = 40 yrs
Priyal's age is 5 × 10 = 50 yrs
I hope it helps and if you appreciate my answer please respond with a thanks.
