Question

Anil says to Sanjay, "My present age is five times of your age of that time, when I was as old as you are now.” The sum of their ages is 48 years. Find present ages.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Anil = 40 years

Sanjay = 8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

let the present age of anil is X

and, the present age of sanjay is Y

5Y = X

X + Y = 48

=> 6Y = 48

=> Y = 8

hence, the present age of sanjay is 8 years

and as from the equation

X = 5 × 8

X= 40

hence the age of anil is 40 years
