Question

The ratio of the present ages of Geeta and Babita is 4:5. If the ratio between their
ages four years hence becomes 14: 17, what is Babita's age at present?​

Answer 1

let the ages be 4x and 5x.

four years hence the ages will be

4x + 4 and 5x + 4

there ratio is equal to 14:17

4x + 4 /5x + 4=14/17

cross multiplying

we will get the value of X

substitute it in 5x

the age of Babita will be in your hand .
