Answer 1

Given:

Ravi is younger than Kishan by 3 years.

The ages of Ravi and Kishan are in the ratio 7:8.

Calculation:

Let Ravi's age be 7x and Kishan's age be 8x.

Since Ravi is younger than Kishan by 3 years, we have the equation:

Kishan's age - Ravi's age = 3 years

Using the given ratio:

Ravi's age = 7x

Kishan's age = 8x

According to the problem:

8x - 7x = 3

⇒ x = 3

Now, Kishan's age = 8x = 8 × 3 = 24 years

Kishan is 24 years old.
