Question

The ratio of present age of Ramesh and Mahesh is 5:7.
After four years the ratio of
their age will be 3:4. Find
out their present age.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Let Ramesh's age be 5x

Mahesh's age = 7x

4 years later

5x+4 / 7x+4 = 3 / 4

5x+4(4) = 7x+4(3)

20x + 16 = 21x + 12

16-12 = 21x - 20x

4 = x

Therefore Ramesh's age = 5x = 5(4) = 20 years

Mahesh's age = 7x = 7(4) = 28 years
