Question

If we deduct 6 from the age of Venkat and devide by 18, it results the age of Baby Palak. Mehak present age is 5 years and Palak is younger to Mehak by 2 years. What is the age of Venkat?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

to find out Venkat's age we have to first find Palaks age.

Given,

Mehak's age = 5 years

palak is younger by mehak by = 2 years

so, 5-2 = 3 years.

now,

let Venkat's present age be x.

according to question.

deduct 6 from Venkat's age = x - 6

divide the result by = 18 so, x - 6/18.

now equation is

x - 6 / 18 = 3 ( as the result is equal to Palaks age )

$\frac{x - 6}{18} = 3$

→ x - 6 = 3 × 18

→ x - 6 = 54

→ x = 54 + 6 = 60

→ x = 60.

hence, Venkat's present age is 60.

verifying

deduct 6 from 60 = 54

divide 54 by 18 = 3

3 = palak's age.

hope this answer helps you dear....take care!

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Venkat be 'x'.

  If we deduct 6 from x and divide by 18, the result is the age of Palak.

⇒ Palak's age = (6 deduced from x) ÷ 18

                       =  (x - 6)/18

Given, Mehak's present age is 5 year and Palak is younger(small in age) by Mahek by 2 year.

 ∴ Palak's age = Mehak's age - 2

                        = 5 - 2

                        = 3

But from above, we got that the age of Palak is (x - 6)/18  

 ∴ (x - 6)/18 = 3

 ⇒ x - 6 = 3 * 18

 ⇒ x - 6 = 54

 ⇒ x = 54 + 6

 ⇒ x = 60

Age of Venkat = x = 60 year
