Question

Present age of sohan is 20 years more than present age of sachin. 3 years hence, it will be thrice that of sachin. find the present age of sohan

Answer 1

Answer:

27 years

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of Sachin be x

Sohan age is x+20

after three years Sachin age =x+3

Sohan age=x+20+3=x+23

ATQ

x+23= 3(x+3)

x+23=3x+9

23-9=3x-x

14=2x

x=14/2

x=7

Sachin age =7

Sohan age =x+20

=7+20

=27years

Answer 2

let's,

The present age of Sachin be x years old

The present age of Sohan be (x+20) years old

After the three years,

The age of Sachin be (x+3) years old

The age of Sohan be (x+20+3)=(x+23) years old

According to the given condition :

x+23=3(x+3)

x+23=3x+9

3x-x=23-9

2x=14

x=7 years old

Sachin age = x =7 years old

Sohan age = (x+20) = (7+20)

= 27 years old

Sohan present age is 27 years old
