Question

Amit is 19 years younger than his father. After 5 years their ages will be in the ratio
2:3 . find their present
age?​l​

Answer 1

let Amit’s age = x
his father’s = y

given

x = y-19 ————-(1)


also after 5 years

2{x+5} = 3(y+5) ————-(2)


substitute (1) in (2)


2( y-19+5 ) = 3y + 15
2y - 28 = 3y + 15
y ==> 43

x = 43-19 = 22

Answer 2

let Amit’s age = x

his father’s = y

given

x = y-19 ————-(1)

also after 5 years

2{x+5} = 3(y+5) ————-(2)

substitute (1) in (2)

2( y-19+5 ) = 3y + 15

2y - 28 = 3y + 15

y ==> 43

x = 43-19 = 22
