The ratio between the present age of Radha and Seema is 5:4. Four year...
Radha and seema present age =5x, 4x
4years ago seema age =24
so 4x-4=24
4x=28
x=7 so present age of radha=35 seema =28
so 5years after =35+5=40 so B is the answer
The ratio between the present age of Radha and Seema is 5:4. Four year...
Given:
- The ratio of Radha's age to Seema's age = 5 : 4
- Seema's age 4 years ago = 24 years
To find:
- Radha's age after 5 years
Solution:
Let's assume the present age of Radha and Seema to be 5x and 4x respectively.
- Seema's age 4 years ago was 24 years, so her present age will be 24 + 4 = 28 years.
- The ratio of Radha's age to Seema's age = 5:4, which means 5x/4x = 5/4
- Solving the above equation, we get x = 4
- Therefore, the present age of Radha = 5x = 5 × 4 = 20 years
- After 5 years, Radha's age will be 20 + 5 = 25 years
Hence, the correct option is (B) 40 years.
