Answer 1

Answer:

Looks like some number is wrong in sum.

I have solved based n given numbers and got answer

Yasir's present age  = 27.5 years

If you know what is correct option then share, I will be able to correct the question accordingly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Current age:

Mujtaba = x years

Yasir  = x + 15 years

Five years ago

Mujtaba = (x - 5)years

Yasir  = (x + 15 - 5) years = (x + 10) years

Equation:

Yasir was three times as old as Mujtaba

yasir = 3 * Mujtaba

x + 10 = 3 (x - 5)

x + 10 = 3x - 15

2x = 25

x = 12.5 years

-------------

Yasir's present age  = x + 15 years = 27.5 years
