The ages of Rahul and Haroon are in the ratio 5:7. Four years later the sum of their ages will be 56 years. What are their present ages?

Explanation

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps:

1. **Understand the problem**: We know that the ages of Rahul and Haroon are in the ratio 5:7. We also know that four years later, the sum of their ages will be 56 years. We need to find their present ages.

2. **Set up the variables**: Let's assume Rahul's present age is \(5x\) years and Haroon's present age is \(7x\) years, where \(x\) is a common multiplier.

3. **Calculate their ages four years later**:
- Rahul's age in four years will be \(5x + 4\).
