Question

Subhash is three years older than his brother Vijesh. Six years ago Subhash’s age was four times the age of Vijesh. Find their present ages

Answer 1

Answer:

let suresh's age be x

then subhash's age is x + 3

six years ago

suresh's age = x - 6

subhash's age = x - 3

therefore, we get equation

x - 3 = 4 × (x - 6)

x - 3 = 4x - 24

-3x = - 21

x = 7

therefore suresh's age is 7 yrs

subhash's age is 10 yrs

I think it is right.
