Question

5 years ago Gowri was 5 times as old as Ganesh . 5 years later Gowri's age will be 20years more than Ganesh. How old are Ganesh and Gowri​

Answer 1

Five years ago, age of Ganesh =x−5

Age of Gouri =3x−5

After ten years, age of Ganesh =x+10+5

Age of Gouri =3x+10+5=3x+15
According to the question,

3x+15=2(x+15)

3x+15=2x+30

3x−2x=30−15

x=15
Present age of Ganesh =x+5=15+5=20 years

Present age of Gouri =3x+5=315+5=50 years
