Question

The ratio of present ages of amarkanthak and akbar is 6:7.5 years ago sum of their ages was 75 find their present age

Answer 1

Let present ages be M and K respectively

M:K = 6:7; therefore 6x: 7x

M-5 + K-5 = M+K-10= 75

M+K = 85

6x + 7x = 13x = 85; therefore x = 85/13 = 6.54

M = 6.54 x 6 = 39.23

K = 6.54 x 7 = 45.77
