Question

the ratio of the ages of Kapil and Ranu is4:5 . After 5 years,the sum of their age is 46 years.Find their present ages.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let Kapil she be 4x and Ranu age be 5x.

ATQ,(4x+5)+(5x+5)=46

=9x+10=46

=9x=46-10=36

=x=36/9=4

hence,Kapil age =4x=4×4=16 years

Ranu age =5x=4×5=20 years

Answer 2

Answer:

16 and 20

Step- by- step explanation:

The ratio is 4:5.

1. if we remove the ratio we want to add a variable.
2. so we will add n.
3. Then let the kapil age be ( 4n) and ranu age be (5n).
4. After 5 years their ages will be 4n+5 and 5n+5.
5. Sum of their ages will be 46 years.
6. According to the question

• (4n+5)+(5n+5) =46
• Add the variable and numbers
• After adding we get
• 9n +10 =46
• 9n=46-10
• 9n= 36
• n=36/9
• n=4

So Kapil age = 4n = 4×4 =16 years

then ranu age= 5n = 5×4= 20 years.
