x=2y -equation1

x−10=4(y−10) -equation2

from equation1 and equation2

2y−10=4y−40

2y=30

y=15years

putting value of y in equation 1

x=2y=2×15=30 years

Answer 2

Explanation:

Correct Question:-

Akhil is twice as old as Bharat. Ten years ago Akhil's age was four times Bharath's age. Find the present age of Akhil.

$\bf{\underline{\underline\red{Given:-}}}$

• Akhil is twice as old as Bharat.

• Ten years ago Akhil's age was four times Bharath's age.

$\bf{\underline{\underline\blue{To\:Find:-}}}$

• The present age of Akhil

$\bf{\underline{\underline\green{Solution:-}}}$

According to the 1st condition:-

Akhil is twice as old as Bharat.

Let the present age of Bharat be x

The present age of Akhil = 2x

According to the 2nd condition:-

Ten years ago Akhil's age was four times Bharath's age

Ten years ago:-

Age of Bharat = x - 10

Age of Akhil = 2x - 10

Akhil's age was four times Bharath's age

→ 2x - 10 = 4( x - 10)

→ 2x - 10 = 4x - 40

→ 2x - 4x = -40 + 10

→ - 2x = - 30

→ $\rm x = \dfrac{ - 30}{ - 2}$

→ x = 15

Present age of Bharat = x = 15

Present age of Akhil

= 2x

= 2 × 15

= 30

$\underline{ \boxed{ \rm \purple{ \therefore Present \: age \: of \: Akhil = 30 \: years}}}$
