Answer:

The correct answer is

The age of Seema is 40

The age of Reema is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Seema is 16 years older than Reema the ratio of their age is 5:3

To Find - The ages of Seema and Reema

Solution -

Let the age of Reema is x

and the age of Seema is 16+x

The ratio is 5 : 3

So, 16+x / x = 5 / 3

or, 5x = 3x + 48

x = 24

So, the age of Reema is 24

and Seema age is 16 + x = 16 + 24 = 40
