Answer:

Hey mate...

Here is your answer

Let my current age = x

6 times my age 6 years from now = 6(x + 6)

= 6x + 36

7 times my age 7 years from now = 7(x + 7)

= 7x + 49

When we add this equations , we got 14 times of my current age .

6x + 36 + 7x + 49 = 14x

13x + 85 = 14x

14x - 13x = 85

x = 85 years

My age 5 years after = 85 + 5 = 90 years

So , (d) option is the correct answer

Answer:

The answer will be - (4) 90 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming my current age is '' x '' years

So my age 6 years from now on will be (x+6) years

and 6 times of that age will be 6*(x+6) years

similarly 7 times my age 7 years from now on will be 7*(x+7) years

now 14 times my current age is 14*x

therefore we can write the equation as :-

6*(x+6) + 7*(x+7) = 14*x

or 6x + 36 + 7x + 49 = 14x

or 36 + 49 = 14x - 6x - 7x

or x = 85 years

therefore my current age is 85 years

and so that my age after 5 years from now on will be (85+5) = 90 years (Answer)
