Question

five years old rahul eas twise as old as sumit ten years later rahul will be twice as old as sumit how old are rahul and sumit​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the age of Rahul be x and Sumit be y.

According to question:

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

x-5=3y-15

x-3y=-15+5=-10----(1)

(x+10)=2(y+10)

x+10=2y+20

x-2y=20-10=10------(2)

(2)-(1)

x-2y-(x-3y)=10-(-10)

x-2y-x+3y=10+10

y=20---(3)

(3) in (2):

x-2(20)=10

x=10+40=50

Ruhul's age is 50years and sumits age is 20years.
