The ratio of the ages of A and B is 9:5. After 8 years B would reach the present age of A. Find the present ages of B and A respectively.
9, 5
10, 18
18, 10
5, 9
Explanation:
Let the present age of A & B be 9x and 5x.
According to the condition,
=> 5x + 8 = 9x
=> 4x = 8.
=> x = 2.
Therefore, the present age of A = 9 $\times$ 2 = 18 and B = 5 $\times$ 2 = 10.
