The average age of a woman and her daughter is $25\ yr$. The ratio of their ages is $7: 3$, respectively. What will be the ratio of their ages after $9$ yr?
Given: The average age of a woman and her daughter is $25$ year. The ratio of their ages is $7: 3$, respectively.
To do: To find the find the ratio of their ages after $9$ yr.
Solution:
Let $7x$ and $3x$ be the ages of woman and her daughter respectively.
As, given, the average age of a woman and her daughter is $25$ year
$\Rightarrow \frac{7x+3x}{2}=25$
$\Rightarrow \frac{10x}{2}=25$
$\Rightarrow 10x=50$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{50}{10}=5$
Therefore, Age of woman$=7x=7\times5=35$ year
Age of daughter$=3x=3\times5=15$ year
After $9$ yr:-
Age of woman$=35+9=44$ year
Age of daughter$15+9=24$ year
Ratio between their ages after $9$ years$=\frac{44}{24}=\frac{11}{6}=11:6$
