ii- Times flies when you are happy______.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given:

Raman's current age is 7 times the age of his daughter (Dia).

After five years Dia's age will be twice of her present age.

\begin{gathered} \\ {\bf{To\: Find\::}} \\ \end{gathered}

ToFind:

Raman's age when his daughter was born.

\begin{gathered} \\ {\bf{Solution\::}} \\ \end{gathered}

Solution:

Let,

Raman's present age is x years.

Dia's present age is y years.

According to the question,

\begin{gathered}:\implies\:\tt{x\:=\:7y} \\ \end{gathered}

:⟹x=7y

➣ After 5 years Dia's age is,

➛ (y + 5) years

According to the question,

\begin{gathered}:\implies\:\tt{y\:+\:5\:=\:2y} \\ \end{gathered}

:⟹y+5=2y

\begin{gathered}:\implies\:\tt{2y\:-\:y\:=\:5} \\ \end{gathered}

:⟹2y−y=5

\begin{gathered}:\implies\:\bf{y\:=\:5} \\ \end{gathered}

:⟹y=5

That means,

➠ Present age of Dia = 5 years

Thus,

➠ Present age of Raman = x = 7y = 7 × 5 = 35 years

Hence,

➣ Raman's age when his daughter was born is,

➠ (35 - 5) years

➠ 30 years

∴ Raman's age when his daughter was born is 30 years.
