Given:
- Rohan's mother is 26 years older than him and the product of their ages after 3 years will be 360.
To find:
- Rohan's present age.
Solution:
❐ Let the present age of Rohan be x years, then according to the given condition, his mother's age will be (x + 26) years.
After three years,
- Rohan's age = (x + 3)
According to the question,
- The product of their ages after 3 years will be 360, therefore,
⇒ (x + 3) (x + 29) = 360
⇒ x(x + 29) + 3(x + 29) = 360
⇒ x² + 29x + 3x + 87 = 360
⇒ x² + 32x + 87 - 360 = 0
⇒ x² + 32x - 273 = 0
⇒ x² + 39x - 7x - 273 = 0
⇒ x(x + 39) - 7(x + 39) = 0
⇒ (x + 39) (x - 6) = 0
⇒ x = -39 or x = 7
- Age can never be negative, so, we have x = 7.
Hence, Rohan's present age is 7 years.
