Question

Sanjay was now one by two as old as his brother in 6 more years he will be 3 by 5 as old as his brother then what is their present ages​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take Sanjay's present age to be 'x'. That way, his brother's present age shall be '2x'.

Now, 6 years from now, Sanjay's age can be denoted as 'x + 6′ and brother's age as '2x + 6′.

According to the question,

x + 6 = 3/5 (2x + 6)

→5 (x + 6) = 3 (2x + 6)

5x + 30 = 6x + 18

30–18 = 6x - 5x

x = 12

Therefore, Sanjay's present age is 12 years and his brother's age is twice his age, i.e., 24 years.
