the ratio of the present age of viju to that of aju is 7 : 2 . 4 years from now , the ratio of the ages of viju to aju will be 5 : 2 . what was viju age 5 years ago ? ( rbi assistant 2015 )
let the present age of viju be 7 x years and that of aju be 2 x years . then , 4 years from now 7 x + 4 / 2 x + 4 = 5 / 2 or 4 x = 12 or x = 3 viju present age = 7 * 3 = 21 years viju age 5 years ago = 21 - 5 = 16 years answer : d
subtract(divide(multiply(7, divide(subtract(multiply(5, 4), multiply(2, 4)), subtract(7, 5))), 2), 5)
