Question

fifteen years from now ravi's age will be six times his parents age . what is ravi's present age​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let Ravi's age be x

After 15 years = 15+x

his parents age = 6x

according to the problem

15+x = 6x

15 = 6x-x

15 = 5x

15÷5 = x

3 = x

therefore Ravi's present age is 3 years

Answer 2

Let the present age of Ravi be x.

Fifteen years later, Ravi age will be x+15 years.

According to the question,

x + 15 = 6x

⇒ 6x – x = 15

⇒ 5x = 15

⇒ x = 15/5

⇒ x = 3

Therefore, Present age of Ravi = 3 years.
