Question No. 6
In 2011, Yash was six times as old as Harsh was, while in 2015, Yash was only two times as old as Harsh was. How old was Yash in 2013? (All ages are in years)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Yash's age in 2011 = y

Harsh's age in 2011 = x

In 2011,

y = 6x

in 2015, that is 4 years later, Yash is now y+4, and harsh is x+4

y+4 = 2(x+4)

On solving,

6x + 4 = 2x + 8

=> 4x = 4

=> x = 1.

So in 2011, Yash was 6 and Harsh was 1.

In 2013, Yash is 8, and Harsh is 3.
