Question

deepti is now 1/2 as old as his brother . after 6 years she will be 3/5 as old as his brother . find their ages

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Age of deepti=12 years

Age of her brother=24 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take Deepti's present age to be 'x'. That way, her brother's present age shall be '2x'.

Now, 6 years from now, Deepti's age can be denoted as 'x + 6′ and brother's age as '2x + 6′.

According to the question,

x + 6 = 3/5 (2x + 6)

→5 (x + 6) = 3 (2x + 6)

5x + 30 = 6x + 18

30–18 = 6x - 5x

x = 12

Therefore, Deepti's present age is 12 years and her brother's age is twice her age, 24 years
