Five years ago, the ratio of the ages of A and B was 3 4. Five years from now,the ratio of their ages will be 4 : 5. What is the ratio of A and B, 10 years from now?
Let the ages of A and B are 3p and 4p five years ago respectively
                   A              B
5 years ago        3p              4p
After 5 years      3p+10         4p+10
After 10 years     3p+15         4p+15
Given ratio of ages of A and B after 5 years is 4:5
$$=$$> Â Â Â Â $$\ \frac{\ 3p+10}{4p+10}=\ \frac{\ 4}{5}$$
   $$\ \ 15p+50=\ 16p+40$$
            $$p=10$$
Therefore ratio of ages of A and B after 10 years = 3p+15: 4p+15Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
                    = 3(10)+15 : 4(10)+15     Â
                     = 45:55       Â
                     = 9:11
