A land has been taken for lease of 99 years if two-third of the period has passed away which is equal to the four-fifth of the remaining period
so how many years are there still?

• If x years have passed, then
  
  2x/3 = (99-x)*4/5
  10x= 12*99 -12x
  22x= 12*99
  x= 12*99/22 = 54 yrs

• ANS: 45 yrs
  
  let the passed period be "x" years
  Then, it is given that
  2/3*x=4/5*(99-x)
  10x=1188-12x
  22x=1188
  so, x=54 yrs
  Hence there are still 45 years
