Answer 1

Answer:

Given,

Nilu present age : x yrs

Jain present age : (x+27) yrs

After 8 yrs,

Nilu's age : (x+8) yrs

Jain's age : (x+27+8) yrs

: (x+35) yrs

Therefore, Jain will be twice as old as nilam

According to question

(x+35) = 2(x+8) yrs

x+35=2x + 16 yrs

35-16yrs = 2x-x

19 yrs = x

By putting the the value of x, we get

Nilu present age= 19 yrs

Jain present age= (19+ 27) yrs

= 46 yrs
