Question

if ramesh is now three times as old as mina 5 year ago, she was 5 time as he was now, the age of ramesh is

Answer 1

Answer:

Let, the age of Sunita be x years.

Then, the age of Reena is 2x.

3 years ago the age of Sunita was (x - 3) years

3 years ago the age of Reena was (2x - 3) years

Accordingly,

(2x - 3) = 3 × (x - 3)

⇒ 2x - 3 = 3x - 9

⇒ 3x - 2x = - 3 + 9

⇒ x = 6

The present age of Sunita is 6 years

The present age of Reena is 2 × 6 = 12 years.

∴ Reena is 12 years old now.
