Question

the ratio of the ages of kapil and ramu is 4:5. After five years, the sum of their ages is 46 years. find the present ages​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let the age of Kapil is 4x and that of Ramu is 5x.

After 5 years,

Kapil's age = 4x+5

Ramu's age = 5x+5

ATQ,

4x+5+5x+5 = 46

9x+10 = 46

9x = 36

x = 4

Present age of Kapil = 4x = 4(4) = 16 years

Present age of Ramu = 5x = 5(4) = 20 years
