Question

Aditi is 3 less than twice Amit Age 5 years from now the sum of their ages is 52 find the present age of Amit

Answer 1

Let the age of Amit be x years.

So the age of Aditi=2x-3

5 years later,

Age of Amit=x+5

Age of Aditi=2x-3+5

=2x+2

According to question,

x+5+2x+2=52

3x+7=52

3x=52-7

3x=45

x=15

So the age of Amit is

x=15 years

And the age of Aditi is

2x-3=2(15)-3=30-3=27 years
