Question

The ratio of present age of Albert and Salime 5:9 . Five yrs hence ratio of their ages will be 3:5 . Find their present age?

Answer 1

Hey mate here is your answer:
________________________
Let the present age of Albert be 5x
Let the present age of Salime be 9x

After Five years:
_____________
Hence, Albert's age =5x+5
Salime's age=9x+5

According to the given question:
_________________________

5x+5/9x+5=3/5
5(5x+5)=3(9x+5)
25x+25=27x+15
25x-27x=15-25
-2x=-5
X=-5/-2
X=5/2{ -*-=+}

Therefore, Albert's present age=5(5/2)=25/2
Salime's present age = 9(5/2)=45/2
