Question

The ratio of the ages of Neeti & Yash is 4 : 3, the sum of their ages is 28 yrs. What is the ratio of their ages after eight years?

Answer 1

let neeti present age is 4x and yash is 3x
now
sum of both age is given which is equal to 28 years.
therefore...
4x+3x=28
7x=28
x=4
now niti age will be 4 into 4 which is 16 year and yash age will be 3 into 4 which is 12 year
now after 8 years...
add 8 in both age...
then we get
24 and 20.
now the ratio of this will be 24/20=6/5=6:5
this will be your answer... plz mark as brainliest.

Answer 2

Answer:

The ratio of Ages after 8 years is 6 : 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Ratio of ages = 4 : 3

Their sum of Ages = 28

To Find :

Ratio of Ages after 8 years

Solution :

Let the present Ages be -

• Neeti as 4x
• Yash as 3x

➠ 4x + 3x = 28

➠ 7x = 28

➠ x = 28/7

➠ x = 4

$\rule{300}{1.5}$

Neeti's present age =

➠ 4 × 4

➠ 16

Neeti = 16 years old

$\rule{300}{1.5}$

Yash's present age =

➠ 3 × 4

➠ 12

Yash = 12 years old

$\rule{300}{1.5}$

Ages after 8 years =

➠ Neeti = 16 + 8 = 24 years

➠ Yash = 12 + 8 = 20 years

$\rule{300}{1.5}$

Ratio of their Ages =

➠ Neeti/Yash

➠ 24/20

➠ 6/5

➠ 6 : 5

$\therefore$ The ratio of Ages after 8 years is 6 : 5.
