Question

Mahesh is 3 times as old as his son. Five years later, he shall be two and a half times as old as his son. How old is Mahesh at present?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let sons present age is x years ten mahesh present age is 3x

Five years later mahesh age is 3x +5 equal to 2.5 times of sons age after five years i.e 2.5(x+5)

3x+5 = 2.5(x+5)

Therefore x = 15

Mahesh present age is 3x = 3*15= 45 years
