Answer:
Ques: The age of Rohan's brother after 10 years will be 3 more than twice the present age of Rohan. Given that the present age of his brother is 3 more than rohan's age. Find their ages....
Ans:
let the age of rohan(present) be: x
then age of brother will be: x+3
after 10 years,
age of his brother will be: 13+x
so according to the condition: 13+x = 2x+3
x = 10 and his brother's present age = 13
Here is you answer!!
Answer:
Many problems can be created.
For example, As the ages are 10 and 13, sum of ages = 23
7 years ago there ages were 3 and 6. So, one age was double of the other.
So, a question can be formed like this-
"The sum of ages of two sisters is 23. 7 years ago, the age of one of them was the double of the other. Find their ages."
Let their ages be x and y.
So, x + y = 23. ----- (i)
7 years ago, their ages were (x-7) and (y-7).
Considering y > x, (y-7) = 2(x-7)
=> y - 7 = 2x - 14
=> 2x - y = 7 ----- (ii)
(i) + (ii)
3x = 30 => x = 10
So, y = 23 - 10 = 13.
Hope it helps!!!!!
