Present age of AMAN is 2 more than 2 times of KHAN age.4 years before AMAN age was 8 times of KHAN age.find the present age of AMAN and KHAN
Answers
Let the present age of Amon’s son be x years.
Therefore, Aman’s age = 3x years.
According to question,
3x-10=5\left(x-10\right)3x−10=5(x−10)
\Rightarrow3x-10=5x-50⇒3x−10=5x−50
\Rightarrow3x-5x=-50+10⇒3x−5x=−50+10
\Rightarrow\ -2x=-40⇒ −2x=−40
\Rightarrow x=\frac{-40}{-2}=20⇒x=
−2
−40
=20 years
Hence, Aman’s son’s age = 20 years
And Aman’s age = 3 x 20 = 60 years.

Answer:
Present ages of :
- AMAN = 12 years
- KHAN = 5 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
- Present age of AMAN is 2 more than 2 times of KHAN age
- 4 years before AMAN age was 8 times of KHAN age.
To find :
present age of AMAN and KHAN
Solution :
Let the present ages of AMAN be x and KHAN be y
- According to first condition,
x = 2 + 2y
=> x - 2y = 2 ____[1]
- According to second condition,
as this is 4 years before, we need to minus their ages by 4
(x-4) = 8(y-4)
=> x - 4 = 8y - 32
=> -x + 8y = 28 ____[2]
- Adding eqn [1] and [2],
=> 6y = 30
=> y = 30/6 = 5
=> y = 5
Thus, present age of KHAN is 5 years
- Now, Substituting y = 5 in equation [1],
x - 2(5) = 2
=> x - 10 = 2
=> x = 10 + 2
=> x = 12
Thus, present age of AMAN is 12 years
Hope it helps!!
