The present ages of Peter Jony are in the ratio of 4 : 3, four years later, their ages will be in the ratio of 6 : 5. What is their present ages?

Answer:

As per the problem when Peter's age is 4x years, then Jony's age is 3x years.

So the equation we get:

4x + 4/3x + 4 = 6/5

20x + 20 = 18x + 24

20x - 18x = 24 - 20

2x = 4

x = 4/2 = 2

So the present age of Peter is 4 x 2 = 8 years and that of Jony is 3 x 2 = 6 years.

Ans: 8 years and 6 years.
