Question

Amrita is 8 years elder to her brother Aman. If the ratio of their ages is 7 : 3, find their present ages?​

Answer 1

Amrita = 14 years old

Aman = 6 years old

Explanation:

Find out the difference of the units.

7 - 3 = 4

Amrita is 4 units/8 years older than Aman.

4 units = 8

1 unit = 8 ÷ 4 = 2

Amrita is 7 units and her brother is 3 units.

Amrita = 7 units x 2 = 14

Aman = 3 units x 2 = 6
