Answer» f PRESENT age of ANIL and Sunil = 2:3After 6 years,Ratio of Anil and Sunil will be = 5:7Let suppose that COMMON of ratio is xThus,Present age of Anil = 2xPresent age of Sunil = 3xAfter 6 years,Age of Anil will be = 2x + 6Age of Sunil will be = 3x + 6According to the given question,(2x + 6) : ( 3x + 6) = 5:7On cross multiplication, So from here, we found that value of x(common of ratio) is 12. So to find present age of Anil and Sunil, put value of x in SUPPOSED present age of Anil and Sunil.Hence,Present age of Anil = 2x = 2*12 = 24 years.Present age of Sunil = 3x = 3*12 = 36 years. |
