Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Let their ages be x and (x + 20) years.
5 (x - 5) = (x + 20 - 5) or 4x = 40 or x = 10.
Their present ages are 30 years and 10 years
Present age of elder one =30 years
Present age of younger one=10 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:-
The ages of two persons differ by 20 years.
5 years ago The age of elder one is 5times the age of younger one.
To find:-
Find their present ages.
Solution:-
Given that
The ages of two persons differ by 20 years.
Let the present age of elder one be X years
then, The present age of younger one
=(X-20) years
5years ago,
Age of elder one =(X-5) years
Age of younger one =(X-20)-5 =(X-25) years
According to the given problem,
5 years ago the age of elder one is 5times the younger one
=>X-5=5(X-25)
=>X-5=5X-125
=>X-5X=-125+5
=>-4X=-120
=>4X=120
=>X=120/4
=>X=30
Answer:-
Present age of elder one=30 years
Present age of younger one
=30-20=10 years
