Question

Arjun is twice as old As shriya five years ago his age was three times shriya age . Find their present ages ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The present age of Shriya is 10 years

The present age of Arjun is 20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

The present age of Shriya = x

The present age of Arjun = 2x

★ Five years ago,

The age of Shriya = x - 5

The age of Arjun = 2x - 5

Also,

Arjun's age was three times Shriya's age

So,

⇒ (2x - 5) = 3 (x - 5)

⇒ 2x - 5 = 3x - 15

⇒ 2x - 3x = - 15 + 5

⇒ - 1x = - 10

⇒ 1x = 10

⇒ x = 10

★ Value of 2x

⇒ 2 (10)

⇒ 2 × 10

⇒ 20

Therefore,

The present age of Shriya is 10 years

The present age of Arjun is 20 years
