After 6 years the ratio of age of X and Y will be 5:6. Before 6 years it was 3:4. Find the age of younger one.

• Let X's and Y's present age be X and Y respectively.
  
  (X+6)/(Y+6) = 5/6
  => 6X - 5Y = -6
  
  (X-6)/(Y-6) = 3/4
  => 4X - 3Y = 6
  
  Solving we get, X = 24 and Y = 30. Ans = X = 24 years.

• present age is a,b
  after 6 years age ratio is ((a+6)/(b+6))=5/6
  same as follows ((a-6)/(b-6))=3/4
  solve equations
