<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>
The present ages of Ram and Rehman are in the ratio 8:9. After 5 years, the ratio of their ages will be 9:10. Find their present ages.
<h3><u>Statement:</u></h3>The present ages of Ram and Rehman are in the ratio 8:9. After 5 years, the ratio of their ages will be 9:10.
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>- Let the present age of Ram and Rehman be 8x years and 9x years respectively.
- After 5 years, their ages will be 9x years and 10 years respectively.
- Therefore, by the problem
- So, the present age of Ram = 8x years = (8×5) years = 40 years
- The present age of Rehman = 9x years = (9×5) years = 45 years
The present ages of Ram and Rehman are 40 years and 45 years respectively.
