Pls help me solve this problem asap
Dear Student
As per the question:
Let Anita's age be 6x and Sachin's age be 7x
Four years hence:
Anita's age would be (6x+1)+4= 6x+5
Sachin's age would be (7x+1)+4 = 7x+5
Now, it is given that:
(6x+5)/(7x+5) = 7/8
Or, 48x + 40 = 49x + 35
x=5
So, Sachin's current age would be 7x+1 = 35+1 = 36 years
Regards
