Question

Rama is thrice as old as Panav. Ten years ago, his age was four times Panav's age. Find
their present ages?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

Present age of Panav is 30 years and present age of Rama is 90 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Present age of Panav = x

Present age of Rama = 3x

Ten years ago,

Age of Panav = x - 10

Age of Rama = 3x - 10

Also,

Rama's age was four times Panav's age.

So,

⇒ 4(x - 10) = 3x - 10

⇒ 4x - 40 = 3x - 10

⇒ 4x - 3x = - 10 + 40

⇒ x = 30

Present age of Panav = 30 years

___________________________

Present age of Rama = 3x

⇒ 3 (30)

⇒ 90

Present age of Rama = 90 years

Therefore, present age of Panav is 30 years and present age of Rama is 90 years.
