Question

After 16 years, Sham will be there times as old as he is now. Find his present age.

Answer 1

x+3+x+1= 16
2x = 12
x = 6

Answer 2

To find his age

after 16 years

we consider his as x

16 ÷ 2 = 8

x=8

after 16 years means now his age is 8 then after 16 years

8+16
=24

Now his age 8 years

after 16 years means 24

three times old as he is now

= 8×3=24

Means if today his age is 8 and after 16 years means 24 then it the three times the age now he is
