Answer»

Given :

  • The ratio between the preset AGES of A and B is 4:3.

  • B's present age is 21 YEARS.

To find :

  • The ratio of their ages 4 years hence =?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the ratio of the present age of B's = 3x.

We know that,

B's present age = 21 years [Given]

According to the question :

➟ 3x = 21

➟ x = 21/3

➟ x = 7

So, We will know that the VALUE of x = 7.

Now,

Let, the ratio of the A's present age = 4x.

We know that the value of x = 7

So, 4x

= 4 × 7

= 28

Thus, The A's present age = 28 years.

Now,

A's age will be 4 years from hence = 28 + 4 = 32 years

Then, B's age will be 4 years from hence = 21 + 4 = 25 years

The ratio of their ages 4 years hence = A's age : B's age.

Substituting the values, we get

32 : 25

Thus, The ratio of their ages will be 4 years hence = 32 : 25
