Question

five years ago anu was thrice as old as sonu after 10 year anu will be twice as old as sonu how old are sonu and anu? ​

Answer 1

${\huge{{\boxed{{{}{Answer}}}}}}$

Let Anu's age be x years and sonu's age be y years.

x - 5 = 3 ( y - 5 )

x - 5 = 3y - 15

(1) x - 3y = -10

x + 10 = 2 ( y + 10 )

x + 10 = 2y + 20

(2) x - 2y = 10

By solving equation (1) and (2) by elimination method, we get:

Sonu's age = 20 years

Anu's age = 50 years
