Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The ages of Raju and Ravi are in the ratio 3:4 .Four years from now the ratio of their ages will be 4:5 . Find their present ages.
Ratio of ages at present = 3:4
Age of Raju = 3x
Age of Ravi = 4x
Age after four years:
Raju's age = 3x + 4
Ravi's age = 4x + 4
Ratio of ages after four year = 4 : 5
3x +4 : 4x + 4 = 4 : 5
(4x + 4)*4 = (3x + 4)*5
16x + 16 = 15x + 20
Subtract 16 from both sides
16x = 15x + 20 - 16
16x = 15x + 4
Subtract 15x from both sides
16x - 15x = 4
x = 4
Age of Raju = 3x = 3*4 = 12 years
Age of Ravi = 4x = 4*4 = 16 years
