Answer:
Answer:
⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sum of anu and binu's age is 65
After 5 years anu's age will be 4 times the binu's age
______________________
⠀⠀⠀⠀
Present age of anu and binu = ??
______________________
⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let anu's present age be x
Let Binu's present age be y
⠀⠀⠀⠀
Acc. to the first statement :-
⠀⠀⠀⠀
x + y = 65 --- ( i )
⠀⠀⠀⠀
___________________________________
⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀
After 5 years
⠀⠀⠀⠀
Anu's age = x + 5
⠀⠀
Binu's age = y + 5
⠀⠀⠀⠀
____________________________________
⠀⠀
Acc. to the second statement :-
⠀⠀⠀⠀
x + 5 = 4( y + 5 )
⠀⠀⠀⠀
x + 5 = 4y + 20
⠀⠀
x - 4y = 20 - 5
⠀⠀⠀⠀
x - 4y = 15 --- ( ii )
⠀⠀⠀⠀
Subtracting eq ( ii ) from ( i )
⠀⠀⠀⠀
x + y - ( x - 4y ) = 65 - 15
⠀⠀
x + y - x + 4y = 65 - 15
⠀⠀⠀⠀
y + 4y = 65 - 15
⠀⠀
5y = 65 - 15
⠀⠀
5y = 50
⠀⠀
y = 50 / 5
⠀⠀⠀⠀
y = 10 ⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀
putting value of y in eq ( i )
⠀⠀⠀⠀
x + y = 65
⠀⠀⠀⠀
x + 10 = 65
⠀⠀
x = 65 - 10
⠀⠀⠀⠀
x = 55
