The ages of Vimla and Sarita are in the ratio of 7:5. Four year later, their ageswill be in the ratio 4:3. Find their ages.lbuddo it To this she adds double of the original

Answer»

Ratio of their age = Vimla : Sarita = 7 : 5

Define their current age:

Let x be the constant ratio:

Vimla = 7x

Sarita = 5x

Define their age 4 years later:

Vimla = 7x + 4

Sarita = 5x + 4

Form equation and solve for x

4 years later, their ratio is : Vimla : Sarita = 4 : 3

3(7x + 4)= 4(5x + 4)

21x + 12 = 20x + 16

x = 4

Find their age:

Vimla = 7x = 7(4) = 28

Sarita = 5x = 5(4) = 20

Answer: Vimla is 28 and Sarita is 20
