Question

ashu is three years older then neeta. five years ago, ashu was 4 tes metta age find the age of neeta and ashu​

Answer 1

Answer:

Present age of Neeta $=6$ years.

Present age of Ashu $=9$ years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the relation between the ages of Ashu and Neeta .

It is said that Ashu is three years older than Neeta ,

mathematically writing,

let the age of Neeta $=x$

Thus the age of Ashu $=x+3$ . . . . (1)

Five years ago Ashu was four times Neeta's age .

That is five years ago age of Neeta $=x-5$

Hence age of Ashu $=4(x-5)=4x-20$ . . . . (2)

But from (1) , five years ago Ashu's age $=x+3-5=x-2$ . . . .(3)

Therefore (2) and (3) must be equal .

               $4x-20=x-2\\\\4x-x=-2+20=18\\\\3x=18\\\\x=6$.

Thus present age of Neeta $=6$ years .

And present age of Ashu $=9$ years.

Hence the answer.
