Question

Rashmi is twice old as Abhay. five years ago her age was three times Abhay age. find the present age​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ANSWER:-

$\sf{given \ that :-} \\ \sf{Rashmi \ twice \ old \ as \ Abhay }$

For Present Ages:-

$\bf{ Let \ the \ age \ of \ Abhay \ be \ x.}$

$\sf{ So, \ age \ of \ Rashmi \ will \ be \ 2x}$.

Before 5 years:-

• The age of Rashmi will be 2x-5
• The age of Abhay will be x-5

A.T.Q,

The age of Rashmi = 3 times the age of Abhay

$\sf{2x-5 \ = 3(x -5 )}$

$\sf{2x-5 = 3x - 15}$

$\sf{2x-3x = -15+5}$

$\sf{-x = -10}$

$\boxed{\bf{x = 10}}$

Age of Abhay is 10 years.

Age Rashmi

$\implies \sf{x = 10}$

$\implies \boxed{\sf{2x = 20}}$

So , age of Rashmi is 20 years.

Things to Note:-

• The consideration in the given question is taken as opposite
• Here, Rashmi was referred as 3 times
• But I took it to Abhay, and that is the basic to question.
• Always remember to calculate the second value at last
• Also , take an constant as x.
• Do not take different variables.
