Question

sudhir is now six times as old as his little brother Punit, but in 3 more years he will be only twice as old as Punit will be then. how old are they now?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Now, Age of punit is 0.75 year and sudhir's age is 4.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let punit's age be x

so, sudhir's age will be 6x as it is 6 times of punit now

After 3 years, punit= x+3

sudhir = 6x+3

And sudhir will be double of punit

Therefore, 2(x+3) = 6x+3

2x+6 = 6x+3

4x = 3

x = 3/4 that is 0.75 years

answer, punit is of 0.75 years age

sudhir is 6 times, 0.75× 6 = 4.5 yrs

Present age of punit is 0.75 years and age of sudhir now is 4.5 yrs
