Ravi is now 8 years older than Emma and half of that amount older than Ishu. If in 2 years. Ravi will be twice as old as Emma, then in 2 years what would be ravi age?
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Ravi – x + 4
Emma – x
Ishu – x + 2
(Ravi 4 years older than Emma & 2 years older than Ishu)
Ages after 2 yrs
Ravi – x + 6
Emma – x + 2
Ishu – x + 4
x+6 = 2(x + 2)
x = 2
Ravi * Ishu = 8 * 6 = 48
Answer:
In 2 years, Ravi will be 16 years of age.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the present age of Emma be x
and the present age of Ishu be y
and the present age of Ravi be z
According to the conditions given in the question,
z = 8 + x = y + 8/2 = y + 4
=> z = 8 + x --(i)
After two years,
Age of Emma = x + 2
Age of Ishu = y + 2
Age of Ravi = z + 2
According to the conditions given in the question,
z + 2 = 2 (x + 2)
=> z + 2 = 2x + 4
=> z = 2x + 2 --(ii)
Equating equation (i) and (ii), we get,
8 + x = 2x + 2
=> 8 - 2 = 2x - x
=> 6 = x
=> x = 6
We know that z = x + 8
= 6 + 8
= 14
Therefore, the present age of Ravi = z = 14 years.
We need to find Ravi's age after 2 years = z + 2
= 14 + 2
= 16 years.
Therefore, in 2 years, Ravi will be 16 years of age.
