• Jisha is 5 years younger then Thavan
• Four years later Thavan will be twice as old as jisha
• What are the present age of Jisha and Thavan?
Let the age of Jisha be x years.
Given that,
Jisha is 5 years younger than Thavan.
Then,
Thavan age will be = x - 5
Again, it’s given that
Four years later, Thavan will be twice as old as Jisha.
Four years later,
Age of Jisha = x + 4
Age of Thavan = x - 1
A.T.Q :-
⟼ x + 4 = 2(x - 5 + 4)
⟼ x + 4 = 2(x - 1)
⟼ x + 4 = 2x - 2
⟼ 4 + 2 = 2x - x
⟼ x = 6
Hence,
Age of Jisha is = 6 years
Age of Thavan is = (x -5)= 1 year
