- Question :-
- • ☞ Ratio of present ages of sona and sonali is 5:3. After 5 years their ages will be in the ratio 10:7. Calculate the present ages
- Solution :-
- _______________________
- Given,
- ❥︎Ratio of present ages of Sonal and Sonali = 5 : 3
- ❥︎Ratio of ages after five years = 10 : 7
- To find :
- ❥︎ Present ages of Sona and Sonali
- Let,
- Present ages of Sona and Sonali be :
- Sona = 5x
- Sonali = 3y

- Step by step explaination :
- Then after five years,
- Sona age will be 5x + 5
- Sonali age will be 3x + 5
- [tex] \frac{5x + 5}{3x + 5} = \frac{10}{7} \\ [/tex]
- 7 (5x + 5) = 10(3x + 5)
- 35x + 35 = 30x + 50
- 35x - 30x = 50 - 35
- 5x = 15
- x = 3
- Then,
- Present age of sona will be :
- → 5x = 5 × 3
- → 15 years
- Present age of Sonali will be:
- → 3x = 3 × 3
- → 9 years
