Let present age of sheetal and Divya be 6x and 5x respectively
After 8 years,
⇒ Sheetal’s age = 6x + 8
⇒ Divya’s age = 5x + 8
According to question,
⇒ (6x + 8) / (5x + 8) = 22/19
⇒ 114x + 152 = 110x + 176
⇒ 4x = 24
⇒ x = 6
∴ present age of Divya = 5x = 5 × 6 = 30
After 8 years,
⇒ Sheetal’s age = 6x + 8
⇒ Divya’s age = 5x + 8
According to question,
⇒ (6x + 8) / (5x + 8) = 22/19
⇒ 114x + 152 = 110x + 176
⇒ 4x = 24
⇒ x = 6
∴ present age of Divya = 5x = 5 × 6 = 30
