The product of Ramu's age (in years) five years ago with his age (in years) 9 years later is 15. Find Ramu's present age.

\huge{\text{\underline{SOLUTION}}}

Let Ramu's present age be x years.

Then, His age 5 years ago = ( x - 5 ) years.

His age 9 years ago = ( x + 9 ) years.

_____________________________

\textsf{\underline{Given }} -

The product of these ages is 15.

NOW,

. ^{.} . \:  \: (x - 5)(x + 9) = 15 \\  \\  =  >  {x}^{2}   + 9x - 5x - 45 = 15 \\  \\  =  >  {x}^{2}   +  4x - 45 - 15 = 0 \\  \\  =  >  {x}^{2}   +  4x - 60 = 0 \\  \\  =  >  {x}^{2}  + (10 - 6)x - 60 = 0 \\  \\  =  >  {x}^{2}  + 10x - 6x - 60 = 0  \\  \\  =  > x(x + 10) - 6(x + 10) = 0 \\  \\  =  > (x + 10)(x - 6) = 0

____________________________

x + 10 = 0 \\  =  > x =  - 10

x - 6 = 0 \\  =  > x = 6

And we know that x will not be negative

So, x ≠ -10

x = 6

__________________________

Hence, Ramu's present age is 6 years.
