Answer 2

Given:

20 years hence, Ashwin's age will be three times his present age.

To find:

The present age of Ashwin.

Solution:

The present age of Ashwin is 10 years.

To find the answer, we will follow these steps:

Let the present age of Ashwin be x years.

So,

After 20 years, the age of Ashwin = x + 20 years.

Now,

according to the question,

we have,

$x + 20 = 3x$

After subtracting 'x' on both sides, we get

$20 = 2x$

Now, dividing both sides by 2, we get

$x = 10 \: years$

Hence, the present age of Ashwin is 10 years.
