Let common ratio between Rahul's age and Haroon's age be x.
Therefore, age of Rahul and Haroon will be 5xyears and 7xyears respectively. After 4 years, the age of Rahul and Haroon will be (5x + 4) years and (7x + 4) years respectively.
According to the given question, after 4 years, the sum of the ages of Rahul and Haroon is 56 years.
∴ (5x + 4 + 7x + 4) = 56 12x + 8 = 56
On transposing 8 to R.H.S, we obtain
12x= 56 - 8
12x= 48
On dividing both sides by 12, we obtain
\(\frac{12x}{12} = \frac{48}{12}\)
x = 4
Rahul's age = 5xyears = (5 × 4) years = 20 years
Haroon's age = 7xyears = (7 × 4) years = 28 years

Solve the inequations and graph their solutions on a number line – 4 ≤ 4x < 14, x ε N
Solve (\( \dfrac{x}{3}\)) + (\( \dfrac{1}{4}\)) < (\( \dfrac{x}{6}\)) + (\( \dfrac{1}{2}\)), x ε W. Also represent its solution on the number line.
If the replacement set is {-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3}, solve the inequation \(\dfrac {(3x – 1) }{2} < 2\). Represent its solution on the number line.
Solve the inequations (\( \dfrac{3}{2}\)) – (\( \dfrac{x}{2}\)) > – 1, x ε N
