Let the current A-apos-s age be 15x- and B-apos-s age be 8x-

The present ages of $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $15 : 8$ . After ten years, their ages will be in the ratio $5 : 3$ . Find their present ages.
$A = 60$ years and $B = 32$ years
$A = 20$ years and $B = 32$ years
$A = 70$ years and $B = 42$ years
$A = 30$ years and $B = 12$ years

Let the current A's age be $15 x$ , and B's age be $8 x$ ,

The present ages of A and B are in the ratio 15:8. After ten years, their ages will be in the ratio 5:3. Find their present ages. A=60 years and B=32 yearsA=20 years and B=32 yearsA=70 years and B=42 yearsA=30 years and B=12 years
