Given : -
- A' age is five times as that of B. Ten year later A' age will br thrice that of B
To Find : -
- Find the age of A
Solution : -
★ Let the age of B be x and A be 5x
- 10 year later
- B's age = (x + 10)
- A's age = (5x + 10)
According to the question
→ 5x + 10 = 3(x + 10)
→ 5x + 10 = 3x + 30
→ 5x - 3x = 30 - 10
→ 2x = 20
→ x = 20/2 = 10
Hence,
- Age of B = x = 10 years
- Age of A = 5x = 50 years
