Question

IF SHOBO'S PRESENT AGE IS TWICE HIS SISTER'S AGE AND FIVE YEARS AGO THE SUM OF THEIR AGES WAS 17 . WHAT IS SHOBO'S AGE ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let shoba's sister age be X

then shoba's age =2x

five year ago shoba's sister age=x-5

five year ago shoba's age=2x-5

according to question

sum of there age = (x-5)+ (2x-5)

17 = x-5+2x-5

17= x-10

X=17+10=27

hence age of shoba's sister X= 17 years

and age of shoba is 2x= 2*17= 34 years
