Correct Question: Nani is 24 years older then his son lucky.Six years ago nani was thrice as old as lucky.Find there present ages?

Given:

• Nani is 24 years older than lucky.
• Six years ago nani was thrice as old as lucky.

To Find:

• What are the present ages of both ?

Solution: Let the age of Lucky be x years. Therefore,

➙ Age of Nani = 24 years older than x

➙ Nani's age = (x + 24) years

[ Six years their ages was ]

➙ Age of Lucky = (x – 6) years

➙ Age of Nani = (x + 24 – 6) years

A/q

• Six years ago Nani was thrice as old as Lucky.

$\implies{\rm }$ (x + 24 – 6) = 3(x – 6)

$\implies{\rm }$ x + 18 = 3x – 18

$\implies{\rm }$ 18 + 18 = 3x – x

$\implies{\rm }$ 36 = 2x

$\implies{\rm }$ 36/2 = x

$\implies{\rm }$ 18 = x

So, Their present ages are

➛ Lucky's age is x = 18 years

➛ Nani's age = (x + 24) = 18 + 24 = 42 years.

Answer 2

Solution :-

Let's :-

• Lucky's age = x

• Nani's age = x + 24

6 years ago their age

→ Age of Lucky = x – 6 years

→ Age of Nani = x + 24 – 6 years

According to Question :

→ ( x + 24 – 6 ) = 3( x – 6 )

→ x + 18 = 3x – 18

→ x - 3x = - 18 - 18

→ - 2x = - 36

→ x = - 36 / - 2

→ x = 18

★ Lucky's age = 18 years

★ Nani's age = 18 + 24 = 42 years
