Question

Arun is 6 years older than Amit and after 5 years,Arun will be twice the age of Amit . The present age of Amit is ?
years.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Amit is 1 year old while Arun is 7 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present ages of Amit and Arun be x years and (x + 6) years, respectively.

After 5 years, their ages will be (x + 5) years and (x + 6 + 5) = (x + 11) years, respectively.

B.T.P.

x + 11 = 2(x + 5)

⇒ x + 11 = 2x + 2 × 5

⇒ x = 2x + 10 - 11

⇒ x -2x = -1

⇒ -x = -1 ⇒ x = 1

Amit is 1 year old while Arun is x + 6 = 7 years old.
