Let the common ratio between their ages be x. Therefore, Hari's age and Harry's age will be 5x years and 7x years respectively and four years later, their ages will be (5x + 4) years and (7x + 4) years respectively.
According to the situation given in the question,
\( \frac{5x + 4}{7x + 4} = \frac{3}{4}\)
\(\Rightarrow\) 4(5x + 4) = 3(7x + 4)
\(\Rightarrow\) 20x + 16 = 21x + 12
\(\Rightarrow\) 16 - 12 = 21x - 20x
\(\Rightarrow\) 4 = x
Hari's age = 5x years = (5 × 4) years = 20 years
Harry's age = 7x years = (7 × 4) years = 28 years Therefore,
Hari's age and Harry's age are 20 years and 28 years respectively.

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.
