The ratio of the present ages of two brothers is 1:2 and 5 years ago, the ratio was 1:3. What will be the ratio of their ages after 5 years?

Answer 1

Answer:

1x-5/2x-5= 1/3

3(x-5)= 2x-5

3x-15= 2x-5

3x-2x= -5+15

X= 10

Age of younger brother= 10 years

Age of older brother= 20 years

Five years later........

Age of younger brother= 15 years

Age of older brother= 25 years

Ratio= 15/25

= 3/5

= 3:5
