$\cdot \underline{\underline{\bf \:Question}}$

Aslam is 7 times older than Akram . In 8 years Aslam will be only 3 times older. How old are they both now?

$\ast \sf \:To \: Find$

Present Ages of Aslam and Akram .

$\odot \bf \: Answer$

$\begin{array}{ c} \hline \bf Aslam& \bf28 yrs \\ \bf Akram& \bf 4yrs \\ \hline\end{array}$

Solution

Let the present age of Akram be x yrs now it's given that Aslam is 7 yrs older than Akram so he must be of 7x yrs .

In 8 yrs Later,

• Akram age = (x +8) yrs
• Aslam age = (7x+8) yrs

❥︎ According to the futher question

Aslam will be three times older than Akram.

$: \implies \rm 7x + 8 = 3(x + 8) \\ : \implies \rm 7x + 8 = 3x + 24 \\ : \implies \rm 7x - 3x = 24 - 8 \\ : \implies \rm 4x = 16 \\ \leadsto \rm x = \dfrac{16}{4} \\ \odot \bf \: \colorbox{pink}{ x = 4}$

Now , Since we have to find their present ages.

so ,

• Aslam = x = 4 yrs
• Akram = 7x = 28 yrs
