Answer 2

$\huge\rm\underline{\underline{\purple{Qᴜᴇsᴛɪᴏɴ:-}}}$

Arjun is twice as old as Shriya. Five years ago his age was three times Shriya's age. Find their present ages.

⠀

$\huge\rm\underline{\underline{\blue{Aɴsᴡᴇʀ:-}}}$

↬ Let us take Shriya's age to be x years.

↬ Then Arjun's present age would be 2x years.

⠀

↬ Shriya's age five years ago was (x - 5) years.

↬ Arjun's age five years ago was (2x - 5) years.

⠀

↬ It is given that Arjun's age five years ago was three times Shriya's age.

➭ $\sf{2x~-~5~=~3(x~-~5)}$

➭ $\sf{2x~-~5~=~3x~-~15}$

➭ $\sf{15~-~5~=~3x~-~2x}$

➭ $\sf{10~=~x}$

⠀

$\rm\pink{❥~So,~Shriya's~present~age~=~x~=~10~years.}$

$\rm\red{❥~Therefore,~Arjun's~present~age~=~2x~=~2~×~10~=~20~years.}$
