Answer 2

Answer:

Given that :-

• The ratio of present ages of Albert and Salim is 5 : 9.
• Five years hence ratio of their ages will be 3 : 5.

To find :-

• Their Present Ages

Solution:

=> Let present age of Albert be 5x years.

=> Let present age of Salim be 9x years.

Therefore,

1. Five years later, age of Albert = (5x + 5) years
2. Five years later, age of Salim = (9x + 5) years

$\boxed{A,T.Q,}$

⇒ 5x + 5/9x + 5 = 3/5

⇒ 25x + 25 = 27x + 15

⇒ 27x – 25x = 25 – 15

⇒ 2x = 10

⇒ x = 10/2

⇒ x = 5

• Present age of Albert = 5x = 5 × 5 = 25 years .

• Present age of Salim = 9x = 9 × 5 = 45years .
