Question

Arjun is twice as old as Shreya's age , five years ago his age was three times Shreya's age find their present ages

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let Shreya's age be x. Then Arjun's age is 2x.

Shreya's age five years ago = x - 5

Arjun's age five years ago = 2x - 5

Given, Arjun's age five years ago was three times Shreya's age five years ago, meaning

$2x - 5 = 3(x - 5)$

$2x - 5 = 3x - 15$

$3x - 2x = - 5 + 15$

$x = 10$

Therfore,

Shreya's present age = x = 10 years

Arjun's present age = 2x = 2 x 10 = 20 years

Answer:

Shreya's present age = 10 years

Arjun's present age = 20 years

I hope this helps. :D
