Problema Solution

The present ages of ravi and raju are in the ratio of 5:6

5 years from now the ratio of their ages will be 6:7

Find their present ages

Answer provided by our tutors

The ratios indicate that Raju is is older and Ravi is younger.  The ages can not be directly computed with that information but let's assume that Raju is 45 years old and let 'y' represent Ravi's age:

(5*45)/(6y)=(6(45+5))/(7(y+5))

y=35

So Raju could be 45 years old and that would mean Ravi is 35 years old.
