The ratio of Satish’s age to Anil’s age is 5:1. The product of their ages is 180. What will be the ratio of their age after 5 years?

OPtion

1. 36:11
2. 40:11
3. 10:3
4. 12:3
5. 35:11
6. 42:11
7. 6:5
8. 8:3
9. 32:5
10. None of the above

Solution

Let the ages of Anil and Satish be x and 5x respectively.
Then as given, 5x X x = 180
Or 5x^2 = 180, x^2 = 180/5 =36
x = 6 years
So, Anil age is 6 years and Satish age is 30 years.
After 5 years Anil age will be 11 years and Satish age will be 35 years.
Hence the ratio of their age = 35 : 11

Billal Hossain   4 years AGO

let, satish's age=5x
and, anil's age=x
According to question,5x^2=180
or, x^2=180/5=36
Therefore, x=6
so, satish's age=5*6=30
and, anil's age=6
After 5 years ratio will be = 30+5:6+5=35:11
So, My option is (5)

Let their ages are 5x,x
5x*x=5x^2=180
x^2=36=>x=6
5*6,6
(30+5):(6+5)=35:11
My option is 5 👈

MANISHA JADHAV   4 years AGO

let age be 5x and1x
5x*1x=180
x^2=36
x=6
prasent age are 30 and 6
after 5years age will be 35 and 11
so ratio will be 35:11

5:1=> 5x*x=180
=> x = 6
After 5: 5*6+5:6+5
= 35:11
