Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The ages of Raju and Ravi are in the ratio 3:4 .Four years from now the ratio of their ages will be 4:5 . Find their present ages.

Ratio of ages at present = 3:4

Age of Raju = 3x

Age of Ravi = 4x

Age after four years:

Raju's age  = 3x + 4

Ravi's age = 4x + 4

Ratio of ages after four year = 4 : 5

3x +4 : 4x + 4 = 4 : 5

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

16x + 16 = 15x + 20  

Subtract 16 from both sides

16x  = 15x + 20 - 16

16x = 15x + 4

Subtract 15x from both sides

16x - 15x = 4

 x = 4

Age of Raju = 3x = 3*4 = 12 years

Age of Ravi = 4x = 4*4 = 16 years
