Latif is younger than Saleem by 7 years. If their ages are in the respective ratio of 7 : 9. How old is Latif?
Answer: 24.5 years
Explanation
Let Latif's age be 7x and Saleem's age be 9x.
Since Latif is younger than Saleem by 7 years:
9x - 7x = 7
2x = 7
x = 7/2
x = 3.5
Now, Latif's age = 7x = 7(3.5) = 24.5
