Ashish is twice as old as hina seven years ago his age was five times

1.	Ashish is twice as old as hina seven years ago his age was five times hina's age find their present age.
Answer» the rational between A and B's present ages be x The ratio of their present ages is 2:3. Hence their present ages 2X and 3x 10 years before their ages (2x - 10) and (3x - 10) The ratio of the ages of A and B ten years before was 3 : 5. (2x - 10) / (3x - 10) = 3 / 5 Now SOLVING the equation by cross multiplication 5 ( 2x - 10) = 3 ( 3x - 10) 10X - 50 = 9x - 30 10x - 9x = 50 - 30 x = 20 The rational is 20 hence A's age is 2x = 2 × 20 = 40 years and B's age is 3x= 3 × 20 = 60 years Difference in their present ages B's age - A's age 60 years - 40 years = 20 years It means B is older than A by 20 years Answer difference in their ages will be equal to 20 years: Step-by-step EXPLANATION: HOPE MY ANSWER HELPS

Answer»

the rational between A and B's present ages be x

The ratio of their present ages is 2:3.

Hence their present ages 2X and 3x

10 years before their ages (2x - 10) and (3x - 10)

The ratio of the ages of A and B ten years before was 3 : 5.

(2x - 10) / (3x - 10) = 3 / 5

Now SOLVING the equation by cross multiplication

5 ( 2x - 10) = 3 ( 3x - 10)

10X - 50 = 9x - 30

10x - 9x = 50 - 30

x = 20

The rational is 20

hence A's age is 2x = 2 × 20 = 40 years

and B's age is 3x= 3 × 20 = 60 years

Difference in their present ages

B's age - A's age

60 years - 40 years

= 20 years

It means B is older than A by 20 years

Answer difference in their ages will be equal to 20 years:
