Question

sum of the present ages of Yash and Omkar is 26. yashs Age 3 years ago was 4 times the age of Omkar. find their presents age ​

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

let the ages of yash and omkar be x and y

by the problem

x + y = 26

x-3 = 4 (y-3)

sum of ages of yash and omkar is 26

x = 26 - y --------(1)

3 years ago yash's age was 4 times of omkar

x-3 = 4 (y-3)

26 - y - 3 = 4y - 12

23 + 12 = 4y + y

35 = 5y

y = 7

substitute y= 7 in (1)

x = 26 - 7

=》x = 19

yash' s is 19 years and omkar 's

age is 7 years

Answer 2

Let present age of Yash be x years and present age of Omkar be y years.

According to question,

• x + y = 26
• (x - 3) = 4(y - 3)

Sum of present ages of Tash and Omakr is 26 years.

=> x + y = 26

=> x = 26 - y ___ (eq 1)

Age 3 years ago was 4 times the age of Omkar

=> (x - 3) = 4(y - 3)

=> 26 - y - 3 = 4y - 12 [From (eq 1)]

=> 23 + 12 = 4y + y

=> 35 = 5y

=> y = 7

Substitute value of y in (eq 1)

=> x = 26 - 7

=> 19

•°• Present age of Yash is 19 years and present age of Omkar is 7 years.
