Solution :-
⟼ Let the Present age of Meeta be 5x
⟼ Let the Present age of Aarushi be 4x
After 8 years :
⟼ After 8 years, age of Meeta = 5x + 8
⟼ After 8 years, age of Aarushi = 4x + 8
According to the Question :
➞ 5x + 8 / 4x + 8 = 6/5
➞ 5 (5x + 8) = 6 (4x + 8)
➞ 25x + 40 = 24x + 48
➞ 25x - 24x = 48 - 40
➞ x = 8
