Question 1
10 years ago, the ratio of Lydia's age to Rupali's age was 2:5. 20 years from now, the ratio will be 3:7. Find Lydia's present age.
Let Lydia's present age = x, Rupali's present age = y
10 years ago: (x-10)/(y-10) = 2/5
20 years from now: (x+20)/(y+20) = 3/7
Solving these equations gives x = 30, y = 75
10 years ago: (x-10)/(y-10) = 2/5
20 years from now: (x+20)/(y+20) = 3/7
Solving these equations gives x = 30, y = 75
