Let the common multiple be x
So,
Rahul =5x Haroon=7x
After 4 years,
Rahul =5x+4 Haroon =7x+4
According to the question,
(5x+4)+(7x+4)=56
5x+4+7x+4=56(opening bracket)
5x+7x+4+4=56(grouping)
12x +8= 56
12x=56-8(transposing 8 to RHS)
12x=48
X=48/12(transposing 12 to RHS)
X=4
Rahul =5x=5×4=20
Haroon=7x=7×4=28
