Question

17 years ago, the age of Pranav's cousin was 3 times the age of Pranav. If, his cousin is 56 years old now, how old is Pranav now?

Answer 1

Answer:

Pranav's age is 30 years

Step-by-step explanation:

if we take a look at his current age of his cousin = 56

the age of his cousin 17 years ago would be = 56 - 17 = 39

So we know that Pranav's cousin's age(x) is thrice more than Pranav, Thus we can form the following equation

56 - 17 = 3x where x is the value of Pranav's age.

if, 39 = 3x, then 39 ÷ 3 = x

thus 39 ÷ 3 = 13

so Pranav's age was 13 years

in order to find his current age, we must add the 17 we subtracted earlier thus,

x + 17 = y(where y is the current age of Pranav)

so we know that

13 + 17 = 30

therefore, the age of Pranav is 30 years

Hope you are doing well :)
