Question
The present ages of 'Aman' and 'Ravi' are in the ratio 5:6. Two years from now, Aman’s age will be 25% less than Ravi’s age. Find Aman’s current age.
Solution
Let present ages of Aman and Ravi be 5x and 6x years respectively. According to the question, (6x + 2) × 0.75 = 5x + 2 Or, 4.5x + 1.5 = 5x + 2 Or, 0.5x = 0.5 So, x = 1 Present age of Aman = 5 × 1 = 5 years
