5 Years

Let us assume the present age of Ravi to be 'x'.

Writing the condition given in the question in words:

Fifteen years after:

15 + Present Age Of Ravi = Present Age Of Ravi x 4

Framing a Linear Equation in one variable based on the condition given in the question we get:

=> x + 15 = 4x

(We assumed the present age of Ravi as x)

Solving the Linear Equation in one variable:

Taking x to the other side of the equation we get:

=> 15 = 4x - x

=> 15 = 3x

Taking 3 to the other side of the equation we get:

=> x = 15 / 3

=> x = 5

Therefore, the value we obtain for 'x' is 5.

Therefore, the present age of Ravi is 5 years because we assumed the age of Ravi to be 'x' and the value we obtained for 'x' is 5.

Answer:

  • Let the Present Age of ravi = x years.

  • After 15 years age of ravi = (x + 15) years.

According to Question now,

➸ x + 15 = 4x

➸ 15 = 4x - x

➸ 15 = 3x

➸ x = 15/3

x = 5 years

Therefore, Present Age of ravi is 5 years.
