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

60 years will be the present age of Amit

Answer 2

Let amit age = x

Aditi age = y

y-3=2x.....1

5 years from

x+5+y+5=52

x+y=42......2

From 1 we get

y=2x+3............. 3

Putting the value of y in 2

x+2x+3=42

3x=39

x=13

Putting the value of x in 3

y=26+3

y=29

Aditi age=29 years

Amit age=13 years
