the present ages of rohan and sohan are in ratio 4:5.four years hence their ages will be in ratio 5:6.find their present ages
let the Rohan's present age = 4x yrs
so, Sohan's present age = 5x yrs
After 4 years :
Rohan's age = ( 4x + 4 ) yrs
Sohan's age = ( 5x + 4 ) yrs
According to the question,
6(4x + 4) = 5(5x + 4)
24x + 24 = 25x + 20
25x - 24x = 24 - 20
x = 4
so, Rohan's present age = 4x = 4(4) = 16 yrs
Sohan's present age = 5x = 5(4) = 20 yrs
