The ratio of the ages of Rohan and Mohit is 4 : 5. If Mohit is 5 years older than Rohan, what is the age of Mohit?
25 years
Let the ages of Rohan and Mohit be 4k and 5k years, so that their ratio is 4 : 5.
Mohit is 5 years older, so 5k – 4k = 5, giving k = 5.
Therefore Mohit's age = 5k = 5 × 5 = 25 years (and Rohan's age = 20 years).
Check: 20 : 25 = 4 : 5 and 25 – 20 = 5 years, so both given conditions are satisfied.
Hence, 25 years.
