Given -

• Akash age is a factor of 14.
• Next year Akash's age will be a multiple of 5.

To find -

• Akash's present age.

Solution -

Factors of 14 - 1 , 2 , 7 , 14

M.ultiples of 5 - 5 , 10 , 15 , 20 , 25...

We know that Akash's age could be 1 , 2 , 7 or 14.

Next year Akash's age would be 2 , 3 , 8 or 15---(1)

From the second statement we know that the next year Akash's age will be a factor 5.

In (1) , we can see that only 15 is a factor of 5.

Hence , the next year Akash's age will be 15.

In the present year Akash's age is => 15 - 1 = 14 years.

Therefore , Akash's present age is 14 years.
