Question

ajayan is 10 years elder than vijayanagar next year ajayans age will be double the age of vijayanagar. find their present age​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us take ajayan's age as x

" " " vijayangar " " y

according to the question

x=10+y......(1)

next year

x+1=(10+y)2......(2)

substitute (1)in (2)

: 10+y+1=(10+y)2

= 11+y =20+2y

=11-20= 2y-y

= -9=y

as we got the value of y as -ve,we should consider the +ve value.

ie,

y=9

(1)=

x=10+y

x= 10+9=19

and that is the present ages.
