Reeta is twice as old as gella six years ago her age was three times gella find their present ages
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Arjun be designated as A
Let Shriya be designated as S.
A is twice as old as S
Let S be x years old currently.
Therefore A is 2(x) years old currently.
5 years ago S was ( x - 5 ) years old
5 years ago A was (2(x) - 5) years old
5 years ago A was three times S' age.
That is, 5 years ago, ( 2x - 5 ) = 3( x - 5 )
or
2x - 5 = 3x - 15 so
3x - 2x = -5 + 15 or
x = 10
I stated that S' Current age was x years old. We have now identified x as 10 years old.
A is therefore identified as 2x years old or 20 years old.
Therefore currently Arjun and Shryia are 20 and 10 years old respectively.
Note that 5 years ago A was 15 and S was 5, so A was three times S' age.
Answer:
30 and 15
Step-by-step explanation:
At present:
Age of Gella = x
Age of Reeta = 2x
6 years ago:
Age of Gella = x - 6
Ageof Reeta = 2x - 3
Given,
2x - 3 = 3(x - 6)
2x - 3 = 3x - 18
18 - 3 = 3x - 2x
15 = x
Present age of Reeta = 30
Present age of Reeta = 30Present age of Gella = 15
