​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let ganesh's age be=x

jane=4x=x+15

=4x-x=15

=3x=15

=x=5.

Jane's age =4×5=20

ganesh's age=5

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the present age of Ganesh be x

& the present age of Jane be 15 + x

A/Q

=> 15 + x = 4x

=> 15 = 4x - x

=> 15 = 3x

=> 15/3 = x (15 and 3 gets divided)

=> x = 5

Therefore,

the required ages for

Ganesh = x = 5

Jane = 15 + x = 15 + 5 = 20
