The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we start with the given ratio of the ages of Jasim and Abdullah, which is 6:11. We need to find out the ratio of their ages 5 years ago. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Ages Based on the Ratio**: Let the age of Jasim be \(6x\) and the age of Abdullah be \(11x\), where \(x\) is a common multiplier. 2. **Calculate Their Ages 5 Years Ago**: - Jasim's age 5 years ago: \(6x - 5\) - Abdullah's age 5 years ago: \(11x - 5\) 3. **Set Up the Ratio of Their Ages 5 Years Ago**: The ratio of their ages 5 years ago can be expressed as: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{6x - 5}{11x - 5} \] 4. **Simplify the Ratio**: To simplify the ratio, we can express it in terms of a single variable: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{6x - 5}{11x - 5} \] This ratio cannot be simplified further without knowing the value of \(x\). 5. **Determine the Value of \(x\)**: We can use the information provided in the statements (A, B, C) to find the value of \(x\). Let's analyze each statement: - **Statement A**: The difference of their ages is 35 years. \[ 11x - 6x = 35 \implies 5x = 35 \implies x = 7 \] - **Statement B**: The difference of their ages after 5 years will be 35 years. - Jasim's age after 5 years: \(6x + 5\) - Abdullah's age after 5 years: \(11x + 5\) - Difference: \((11x + 5) - (6x + 5) = 5x = 35\) (This is consistent with Statement A) - **Statement C**: The sum of their ages is 119 years. \[ 6x + 11x = 119 \implies 17x = 119 \implies x = 7 \] All statements confirm that \(x = 7\). 6. **Calculate Their Ages**: - Jasim's age: \(6x = 6 \times 7 = 42\) - Abdullah's age: \(11x = 11 \times 7 = 77\) 7. **Calculate Their Ages 5 Years Ago**: - Jasim's age 5 years ago: \(42 - 5 = 37\) - Abdullah's age 5 years ago: \(77 - 5 = 72\) 8. **Final Ratio of Their Ages 5 Years Ago**: The ratio of their ages 5 years ago is: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{37}{72} \] ### Conclusion: The ratio of the ages of Jasim and Abdullah 5 years ago is \(37:72\). ---
