Question

5 years ago of vinay was 1/3 of that of vikas and present age is 17 years what is the present age of vikas​

Answer 1

Vinay's present age is 17 years.

Five years ago Vinay's age = 17 - 5 = 12 years

Five years ago Vika's age = 3×12 = 36 years

The present age of Vikas = 36+5 = 41 years

Answer 2

The present age of Vikas is 41 years.

Given:

5 years ago Vinay's age was 1/3 of that of Vikas.

Vinay's present age is 17 years.

To Find:

Vikas's present age.

Solution:

Vinay's present age is given to be 17 years.

So 5 years ago Vinay's age was 17-5= 12 years

Let Vikas' present age be 'y' years'.

So 5 years ago Vikas's age = (y-5) years

According to the question,

Age of Vinay 5 years ago = $\frac{1}{3}$ x Age of Vikas 5 years ago

⇒12 = $\frac{1}{3}$ x (y-5)⇒ 36 = y-5

⇒ y = 36+ 5 = 41 years

∴ Present age of Vikas is 41 years.
