Question

The ratio of present ages of Ratnabali and Shaukat is 8:5. After 22 years the ratio of their ages will be 10:9. At present, what is Ratnabali's age?

Answer 1

Let Ratnabali age is x & other is y,x/y=8/5 so 5x-8y=0,x+22/y+22=10/9 so 9x-10y=22,so X=8 year

Answer 2

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratnabali's age is 8x

sharkat's age is 5x

A/Q,

8x+22/5x+22 = 10/9

9(8x+22)=10(5x+22)

72x+198=50x+220

72x-50x= 220-198

22x = 22

x = 22/22

x=1

Therefore,

present age of Shaukit is 8x = 8×1=8 years.
