Answers
let rohit be x
sumit be x-5
ATQ
after 4 years
rohit = x+4
sumit = x-5+4 = x-1
= x+4 = 2 (x-1)
x+4 = 2x-2
x-2x = -2-4
-x = -6
x=6
rohit = 6 years
sumit = 1 years
The present age of Rohit is 6 years and the present age of Sumit is 1 year
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the present age of Rohit be x years
We are given that Sumit is 5 years younger than,his Brother Rohit
So, Sumit's present age = x-5 years
Rohit's age after 4 years = x+4
Sumit's age after 4 years = x-5+4=x-1
We are given that four years later rohit will be twice as old as sumit
So, x+4=2(x-1)
x+4=2x-2
6=x
Rohit's present age = 6 years
Sumit's present age = x-5=6-5=1 year
Hence The present age of Rohit is 6 years and the present age of Sumit is 1 year
