Question

After 32 years, Rahim will be 5 times as old as he was 8 years ago.How old is Rahim today?

Answer 1

Answer:

18 YEARS

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Rahim was x years old 8 years back  

rahim's age today will be x+8

So rahim's age after 32 years will be x + 8 + 32 = x+40 -----1

And rahim's age after 32 years = 5x -----2

Equating 1 and 2,

x + 40 = 5x

4x = 40

x = 10

Rahim's age today is x+8

= 10+8

18 years
