Answer 2

Answer :

Ramesh's age = 60 years

Step-by-step explanation :

Given,

• Ramesh is 20 years older than Abhay
• twice the age of Ramesh is equal to thrice the age of Abhay

To find,

• the present age of Ramesh

Solution,

Let the present age of Abhay be x years

Since, Ramesh is 20 years older than Abhay,

 Ramesh's age = (x + 20) years

According to the question,

 2 × Ramesh's age = 3 × Abhay's age

 2 (x + 20) = 3(x)

 2x + 40 = 3x

 3x - 2x = 40

   x = 40

Therefore, the age of Abhay = 40 years

The age of Ramesh = 40 + 20

  = 60 years

Verification :

Condition :  twice the age of Ramesh is equal to thrice the age of Abhay

  2 × 60 = 3 × 40

  120 = 120

 LHS = RHS

Hence verified!
