Question

Rahul's father is 62 years old. Rahul's father's age is 10 years less than three times Rahul's age. Find Rahul's age.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rahul's father's age = 62 years

Let us consider Rahul's age be‘x’

3x - 10 = 62

3x = 62 + 10

3x = 72

x = 72/3

x = 24

Therefore, Rahul's present age must be 24 years.

Answer 2

Given :

• Age of Rahul's father is 62 years .
• Rahul's father's age is 10 years less than three times Rahul's age.

To Find :

• Present Age of Rahul .

Solution :

$\longmapsto\tt{Let\:Present\:Age\:of\:Rahul\:be=x}$

As Given that Rahul's father's age is 10 years less than three times Rahul's age. So ,

$\longmapsto\tt{Age\:of\:Father=3x-10}$

A.T.Q :

$\longmapsto\tt{3x-10=62}$

$\longmapsto\tt{3x=62+10}$

$\longmapsto\tt{3x=72}$

$\longmapsto\tt{x=\cancel\dfrac{72}{3}}$

$\longmapsto\tt\bf{x=24}$

Value of x is 24 ..

Therefore :

$\longmapsto\tt{Present\:Age\:of\:Rahul=x}$

$\longmapsto\tt\bf{24\:yrs}$

VERIFICATION :

$\longmapsto\tt{3(24)-10=62}$

$\longmapsto\tt{72-10=62}$

$\longmapsto\tt\bf{62=62}$
