Question

Five years ago, Ankith was 3 times as old as Bhavana. If Bhavana is 20 years
younger to Ankith, find their present ages.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let ankit age be x and bhavana age be y

According to given condition

(x-5)=3(y-5)

x-5=3y-15

x=3y-10 eq (1)

Now 2nd condition says that

x-y=20 eq(2)

then putting values of eq 1 in eq 2

3y-10-y=20

2y-10=20

2y=30

y=15 ;x=35

SO BHAVANA AGE=15 AND ANKITH AGE IS 35 YRS
