one year ago the ratio of varun and veena's age's was 4:5.one year hence,the ratio of their ages will be 5:6.present age of veena is?
let Varun,s age be x and veena,s age be y
5(x-1)=4(y-1)
5x-5=4y-4
5x-4y=1.....................(1)
6(x+1)=5(y+1)
6x+6=5y+5
6x-5y=-1..............(2)
x= Varun's present age
y= Veena's present age
5 x -4 y = 1 .............1
Total value
6 x -5 y = -1 .............2
Eliminate y
multiply (1)by 5
Multiply (2) by -4
25 x -20 y = 5
-24 x + 20 y = 4
Add the two equations
1 x = 9
/ 1
x = 9
plug value of x in (1)
5 x -4 y = 1
45 -4 y = 1
-4 y = 1 -45
-4 y = -44
y = 11
x= 9 Varun's present age
y= 11 Veena's present age
