Given: Mrudhula gave birth to twins when she was twenty years old. After x years, the sum of the ages of Mrudhula and her twin children is 50 years.
To find: Value of x
Solution: Age of Mrudhula when she gave birth to the twins= 20 years
After x years, Mrudhula's age = 20+x
The twins' age after x years = x
Since the age of any twins are same, therefore the sum of the age of the twins after x years
= x + x
= 2x
Now, it is given that after x years, the sum of the ages of Mrudhula and her twin children is 50 years.
Therefore,
Mrudhula's age + Sum of the twins' age = 50
=> 20+x + 2x = 50
=> 3x = 50-20
=> 3x = 30
=> x = 30/3
=> x = 10
Therefore, the value of x is equal to 10.
