Question

Rohan is half the age of Sohan, Sohan is three times older than Rahul and the sum of their ages is 44 years. How old is Rahul?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Mohan's present age = x years

then Sohan's age = (x + 15) years

3 years ago

Mohan's age = (x - 3)years

then Sohan's age = (x + 15 - 3) years = (x + 12) years

3 years ago, Sohan's age was two times Mohan's age.

(x + 12) = 2(x - 3)

x + 12 = 2x - 6

x = 18

Therefore the present age of Mohan = 6 years and the present age of Sohan = x + 15 = 33 years.
