Question

ten years ago, khushal was thrice as old as sree was but 10 years hence, he will be only twice as old. find khushal’s present age?

Answer 1

Heya mate,Here is ur answer

Let Sree's Present age be x years.

10 years ago

Sree's age=x-10

Kushal's age =3(x-10)

After 10 years

Sree's age=x+10

Kushal's age =3(x-10)+10+10____(10 years hence is given, if we use only one 10, then present age will come)

According to the question

3(x-10)+10+10=2(x+10)

3x-30+20=2x+20

3x-10=2x+20

Taking like terms a side

3x-2x=20+10

x=30

So Sree's present age =30 years

Kushal's age 10 years back=3(30-10)

=3×20

=60

Kushal's present age =Age 10 years back +10

=60+10

=70 years.
