Answer 2

Answer :-

Present Age of Adil = 22 years.

Explanation :-

Given :

• Adil's age 5 years ago was half of what it will be after 12 years.

To Find :

• Present Age of Adil.

Solution :

Let Present Age of Adil be x.

Five Years Ago, Age of Adil = x - 5.

After 12 Years, Age of Adil = x + 12.

According to the Question,

x - 5 = 1/2(x + 12).

⇒ x - 5 = (x + 12)/2.

⇒ 2(x - 5) = x + 12.

⇒ 2x - 10 = x + 12.

⇒ 2x - x = 12 + 10.

⇒ x = 22.

Therefore, Present Age of Adil = 22 years.
