Question

2. Present ages of Kiran and Syam are in the ratio 5 : 4. Three years hence, the ratio of their ages will become 11 : 9. What is Syam's present age in years?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

let present age of Kiran=5x

then present age of Shyam=4x

after 3years

age of Kiran=5x+3

age of Shyam=4x+3

`(5x+3)/(4x+3) =(11)/(9) \\45x+27=44x+33\\45x-44x=33-27\\x=6\\present ~age ~of ~Shyam=4x=4(6)=24~years`
