The present ages of Anand and Ashish are in the ratio 4 : 5. 10 years hence, the ratio of their ages will be 5 : 6. Find the present age of Anand. (in years)
Explanation:
Let the present ages of Anand and Ashish be 4x years and 5x years respectively.
The ratio of their ages 10 years hence = 4x+105x+10=56
⇒ 24x + 60 = 25x + 50
⇒ 10 = x
Therefore, Anand’s present age is 4 × 10 = 40 years.
Hence, 40.
