Solution

Let after x years, the ratio of their ages will become 5 : 4.

Age of Vatsala after x years = (14 + x) years

Age of Sara after x years = (10 + x) years

∴ `(14+x) / (10+x) = 5/4`

⇒ 56 + 4x = 50 + 5x

⇒ 5x - 4x = 56 - 50

⇒ x = 6

Thus, the ratio of their ages will become 5 : 4 after 6 years.
