Question

Arjun is twice as old as Shreya. 5 years ago his age was 3 times Shreya's age. What are their present ages? (both of them)
The first answer will be the branliest.

Answer 1

Answer:

let age of arjun be 'x' and age of shreya be ' y'

then according to equation

x=2y______(1)

and five years ago

x-5=3(y-5)

x-5=3y-15

x-3y+10=0_______(2)

using equation (1)

2y-3y+10=0

y=10

and x=20

therefore age of arjun is 20 age of shreya is 10
