Question

Sum of the ages of Madan and Mohan is 16 years. Four years ago, Madan was 3 times as old as Mohan. Find their present ages.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let Mohan's age be X

3(x-4)+X=16

3x-12+X=16

4x-12=16

4x=16-12=4

X=4/4=1

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Mohan's age be x

Four years ago, Mohan's age = x-4

Four years ago, Mdan's age = 3 ( x-4)

x+ 3 (x-4) = 16

x + 3x - 12 = 16

4x = 16 - 12

4x = 4

x = 1
