The ratio of the present ages of Sameet and meenakshi is 4 is to 5 Six years hence the ratio of their ages will be 14 is to 17 What will be the ratio of their ages 12 years hence?

S= present age of sameet M = present age of meeakshi] Currently: (S/M)=(4/5) Therefore: S*5= M*4 In 6 years: (S+6)/(M+6) = (14/17) S*17 + 18 = M*14 Solving for S: plug in M=S*(5/4) S*17 + 18 = S*(5/4)*14 = (S*35/2) 18 = S*(1/2) S=36 and therefore M = 45 In 12 years(after the current 6): they will be 54 and 63 respectively. So the ratio of their ages will be 18 to 21
