Answer:

The age of brothers are 4 years and 2 years respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the ages of two brothers have a ratio of 2 to 1. When 4 years have passed, the ratio of their ages will be 8 to 6.

Let the age of the first brother be 'x years' and the age of the second brother be 'y years'.

So, according to the question;

  • The first condition states that the ages of two brothers have a ratio of 2 to 1, that means;

                                      \frac{x}{y} =\frac{2}{1}  

                                      x=2y  -------------- [equation 1]

  • The second condition states that when 4 years have passed, the ratio of their ages will be 8 to 6, that means;

                                       \frac{x+4}{y+4}=\frac{8}{6}

                               6({x+4})=8}(y+4)

                               6x+24=8y+32

                               6(2y)+24=8y+32

                               12y-8y=32-24

                                    4y=8

                                     y=\frac{8}{4} = 2 years

Putting the value of y in equation 1 we get;

                                     x = 2y

                                      x = 2 \times 2 = 4 years

Hence, the age of brothers are 4 years and 2 years respectively.
