Answer 2

$\bold{\underline{\underline{\huge{\sf{ANSWER\::}}}}}$

Given:

Rakesh is twice as old as Vivek. In 12 years time, their combined ages will be six times that of Vivek's present age.

To find:

Their present ages.

Explanation:

Let the Rakesh's age be 2R &

Let the Vivek's age be R

A/q,

• After 12 years;

The age of Rakesh be = (2R+12) years.

The age of Vivek be = (R+12) years.

Their ages combined will be six times that of vivek present age;

Therefore,

→ 2R+12+R+12= 6R

→ 3R+24= 6R

→ 6R -3R = 24

→ 3R = 24

→ R= $\cancel{\frac{24}{3} }$

→ R= 8 years.

Thus,

The present age of Vivek= 8 years.

The present age of Rakesh is 2(8)= 16 years.
