Question

Manu is twice as old as Rahim.Five years ago, Manu's age was three times Rahim's age. Find their presnt ages?

Answer 1

Let Rahim's age be x

Manu' age=2x

Before 5 years,

Rahim's age =x-5

Manu's age=2x-5

Also, Manu's age is 3 times Rahim's age.

Therefore, Manu's age=3(x-5)=3x-15

Now, 2x-5=3x-15

x=10

Hence, Rahim's current age is 10 years

Manu's current age =2x=20 years
