Find their present ages.
Answers
Answer:
let raju' present age be x
Raju's brother's present age 2x
Raju's age after 5 years x + 5
Raju's brother's she after 5 years 2x + 5
it is given that after 5 years, raju's
brothers age will be 5/3 times raju's
age
=> (2x + 5) = 5/3 * (x + 5)
=> 2x + 5 = (5x + 25)/3
=> 6x + 15 = 5x + 25 [ by cross multiplication ]
=> 6x - 5x = 25 - 15
=> x = 10
then Raju's age is 10 years
Raju's brother's age is 20 years
Answer:
10 years and 20 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Raju's age be a years, then his brother's age is 2a years.
After 5 years his age is 5/3 times Raju's age.
2a+5=5/3(a+5)
2a+5=(5a+25)
3
3(2a+5)=5a+25
6a+15=5a+25
6a-5a=25-15
a=10
Therefore, Raju's age is 10 years
Raju's brother's age is 20 years
