Question

Mohan is three years older than Hari. Six years ago, Mohan's age was four times of Hari's age. Find the ages of Mohan and Hari.​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Hari's age is 7 years and
• Mohan's age is 10 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Hari's age = x years

Let Mohan's age = (x-6) years

Six years ago Hari's age = (x+3-6)

and '' " " Mohan's age = (x+3-6)

= (x-3) years

$Therefore, according \: to \: the \: question ,\: x - 3 = 4(x - 6) \\ \\ \longrightarrow \: x - 3 = 4x - 24 \\ \\ \longrightarrow \: x - 4x = - 24 + 3 \\ \\ \longrightarrow \cancel - 3x = \cancel - 21 \\ \\ \longrightarrow \: x = \cancel\frac{21}{3} \\ \\ \longrightarrow \: x = 7$

Hari's age = 7 years

and Mohan's age = 7+3

= 10 years.
