Question 110

Present ages of Rama and Shyama are the ratio of 4:5 respectively Five years hence the ratio of their ages becomes 5:6 respectively What is Rama’s present age ?

Solution

The ratio of ages of Rama and Shyama is 4: 5. Let their ages be 4x and 5x respectively. Five years later, their ages become 5x and 6x respectively. Hence, Their ages after 5 years = 4x + 5 and 5x + 5

But 4x + 5 : 5x + 5 = 5 : 6

So, 24x + 30 = 25x + 25

or x = 5

So, Rama's current age = 4x = 4x5 =20
