Question

The sum of present ages of Rakesh and Rajesh is 79 years.6 years hence the ratio of Rakesh's age to Rajesh's age will be 4:3. Find their present ages.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Rajesh and Rakesh age be x

Thus after 6 years the ratio of their ages is 4:3

that means that it is 4x : 3x

Thus

(4x -6 ) + (3x - 6 ) = 79

4x - 6 + 3x - 6 = 79

4x - 12 + 3x = 79

7x - 12 = 79

7x = 79 + 12

7x = 91

x = $\frac{91}{7}$

x = 13

Therefore Rakesh will be 52 after 6 years, but his current age is 46

Rajesh will be 39 after 6 years but his current age is 32.
