Question

A is now 4 times as old as B in four years time A’s age will be twice b’s age what is the present ages of A and B

Answer 1

Answer:

Ages of A and B are 8 years and 2 years respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the present ages of A and B.

Therefore,

x = 4y

And

x+4 = 2y + 8

=>4y + 4 = 2y + 8

=>2y = 4

=>y = 2.

Now,

x = 4y

= 4 × 2

= 8.

Present age of A = x = 8 years.

Present age of B = y = 2 years.
