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!
