Question

Naresh is 5 years older than babitha.Five years ago,Naresh was as twice as old as Babitha. find their present ages.

Answer 1

Define x:

Let Babitha be x years old.

Naresh = x + 5 years old.

5 years ago,

Babitha = (x - 5) years old

Naresh = x + 5 - 5 = x years old

Five years ago, Naresh is twice as old as BabithaL

x = 2(x - 5)

x = 2x - 10

x = 10

Find their age:

Babitha = x = 10 years old

Naresh = x + 5 = 10 + 5 = 15 years old

Answer: Babitha is 10 years old and Naresh is 15 years old

Answer 2

hello

let babita age is x

and Naresh age is x+5.

5 years ago

babita age = x-5

Naresh age = x+5-5 = x

5 years ago Naresh was as twice as old as babita

so , 2x= x-5

2x-x = 5

x = 5.

hence babita age x = 5 years

Naresh age x+5 = 5+5 = 10 years.

hope it helps you.
