Let Antony's age be 2x.
Therefore, age of John is x.
After 12 years time,
age of John = x + 12
and, age of Antony = 2x + 12
According to the problem,
x + 12 + 2x + 12 = 6x
or, x=8.
Therefore, age of John = x = 8 years.
and, age of Antony = 2x = 2 × 8 = 16 years. (Ans.)
Therefore, age of John is x.
After 12 years time,
age of John = x + 12
and, age of Antony = 2x + 12
According to the problem,
x + 12 + 2x + 12 = 6x
or, x=8.
Therefore, age of John = x = 8 years.
and, age of Antony = 2x = 2 × 8 = 16 years. (Ans.)
