Answer 2

Given:-

• Sum of ages of mukesh and suresh = 55 years
• Ratio of their ages = 6:5

To find:-

Age of Mukesh

Assumption:-

Let the common multiple between the ages of Mukesh and Suresh be x

Age of Mukesh = 6x

Age of Suresh = 5x

Solution:-

ATQ,

Sum of ages of Mukesh and Suresh = 55

= $\sf{6x + 5x = 55}$

= $\sf{11x = 55}$

= $\sf{x = \dfrac{55}{11}}$

=> $\sf{x = 5}$

Therefore,

$\sf{Age\:of\:Mukesh = 6x = 6\times5 = 30\:years}$

$\sf{Age\:of\:Suresh = 5x = 5\times5 = 25\:years}$
