Question

RAKESH is now 3 times a old as is younger brother Pinku, but in 3 more years he will be only twice as old as Pinku will be then. How old are they now?

Answer 1

Answer:

Pinku's age= 3 years

Rakesh's age= 9years

Step-by-step explanation:

Now,

let Pinku's age be x

Rakesh's age = 3x

after 3 years,

Pinku's age=x+3

Rakesh's age = 3x+3

according to question,

Rakesh's age is twice the age of Pinku's age.

3x+3=2(x+3)

3x+3=2x+6

x=3 years

Pinku's age= x= 3years

Rakesh's age=3x= 3×3

= 9 years

Hope it is helpful.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the age of pinku be x.

Then his rakesh would be 3x

In three years pinku age would be x+3

In three years rakesh age would be 3x+3

Its given that rakesh age is twice his brothers age

Therefore it would be

2(x+3)=3x+3.

2x + 6= 3x+3

3x-2x=6-3 by transposition

Therefore x=3

Pinku age=x=3.

Rajesh age=3x=3*3=9
