Question

Anu is four years older than Sunil eight years ago anu was three times sunil's age find the ages of Sunil and Anu

Answer 1

Let age of Anu be x
Let age of Sunil be y

y + 4 = x

x - 8 = 3(y - 8)

x - 8 = 3y - 24

x + 16 = 3y

Therefore, on simplification,

x - 3y = -16
x - y = 4

-2y = -20

y = 10

10 + 4 = x
x = 14

Therefore, Age of Sunil is 10
And, Age of Anu is 14

Answer 2

Solutions :-

Let the age of Sunil be x
Anu's age = x + 4

8 years ago, Anu was 3 times Sunil's age.

A/q

⇒(x+4) - 8 = 3(x-8)
⇒ x - 4 = 3x - 24
⇒ x - 3x = -24 + 4
⇒ -2x = -20
⇒ x = -20/-2 = 10

Hence,
Age of Sunil = x = 10 years
Age of Anu = x + 4 = (10 + 4) years = 14 years
