Question

The ratio of present ages of Sohan and Mohan is 5 : 7. If the difference between Mohan's present age and
Sohan's age after six years is 2 years, what is the total of Sohan's and Mohan's present age?​

Answer 1

Answer:

10 & 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Sohan be 5x and Mohan be 7x

Difference of ages after six years = 2 years

present age of Sohan :-

6 + (7x - 5x) = 2

7x - 5x = 6-2

2x = 4

x = 4/2

x = 2

Present age of Sohan = 5x = 5 × 2 = 10

Present age of Mohan = 7x = 7 × 2 = 14
