Question

The present ages of rohit and mayank are in the ratio 11:8. Eight years later the sum of their ages will be 54.what are their present ages

Answer 1

Solution:
Let the present age of Rohit be 11x
and of Mayank be 8x.
8 years later,
Rohit's age=11x+8
Mayank's age=8x+8
Now sum of their ages will be 54.
so, 11x+8+8x+8=54
19x+16=54
19x=54-16
19x=38
x=2.
Then Present age of Rohit=11(2)=22
and Mayank=8(2)=16
