Question

Ashok's mother was 3 times as old Ashok 5 years ago. After 5 years she will be twice as old as Ashok. How old is Ashok today?

Answer 1

Hey

Here is your answer,

Let present age of Ashok = a
Present age of Ashok's mother = b

According to Question:
5 years ago: b - 5 = 3(a - 5) -------(1)
After 5 years: b + 5 = 2(a + 5) -------(2)

Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2)
- 5 - 5 = 3a - 15 - 2a - 10
- 10 = a – 25 => a = 15 years

Hope it helps you!
