Question

5 years ago Amit was 3 times as old as Amman 10 years later Amit would be twice as old as Amman how old are they now

Answer 1

Let x be the prsent as of Amit nd y be the present age of amman
a/q
(x -5) = 3( y - 5)
=> x - 5 = 3y - 15
=> x = 3y - 15 + 5
=> x = 3y - 10 ...1)

And x + 10 = 2(y+10)

=> x + 10 = 2y + 20
=> x -2y -10 =0 ...2)
putting
x = 3y - 10
=> 3y -10 -2y =10
=> y = 20
x = 50
