Question

Nabin is twice as old as Kiran.Two years hence he will be 6 years older than Kiran.Find their present ages

Answer 1

Answer:

Present age of Nabin and Kiran is 12 years and 6 years respectively.

Explanation:

Given

• Nabin's age is twice the age of Kiran
• After 2 years, Nabin's age will be 6 years more than Kiran's age.

To Find

• Present ages of Nabin and Kiran.

Solution

Let Kiran's age = x

Nabin's age = 2x

After 2 years,

Kiran's age = ( x + 2 )

Nabin's age = ( 2x + 2 )

According to the Question

⟹ ( 2x + 2 ) = 6 + ( x + 2 )

⟹ 2x + 2 = 6 + x + 2

⟹ 2x + 2 = x + 8

⟹ 2x - x = 8 - 2

⟹ x = 6

Present age of

Kiran = x = 6 years

Nabin = 2x = 2(6) = 12 years
