Question

Five years ago gowri wad thrice as old as ganesh. Ten years later gowri will be twice as old as ganesh. How old are gowri and ganesh​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

LET AGE OF GAURI BE x

AND AGE OF GANESH BE y

A.T.Q

CASE-1

FIVE YEARS AGO , AGE OF GAURI= x-5

AGE OF GANESH = y-5

THUS, X-5 = 3 (y-5)

x-5=3y-15

x= 3y-10     ..............1.

CASE 2

x+10 = 2*(y+10)

x+10=2y+20

x=2y+10

putting value of x from 1

3y-10=2y+10

y=20

x=3y-10

=60-10

=50

thus , age of gauri =  50,age of ganesh =20   ANS
