Question

Anita is twice as old as Mahesh 2 years ago Anitha was 7 times as old as mahesh his find their present age​

Answer 1

Solution

Let Anita's age be x and Mahesh age be y because Anita is twice old as Mahesh.

Two years ago, Anita was 7 times old as Mahesh,

➵ x - 2 = 7(2x - 2)

➵ x - 2 = 14x - 14

______________________________

By substituting value we get,

➵ 2y - 2 = 7y - 14

➵ 12 = 5y

➵ Mahesh age = 2.4 years

______________________________

By substituting value we get,

➵ Anita's age = 2 × 2.4 = 4.8 years

Hence age of Anita is 4.8 years and Mahesh's age is 2.4 years.
