Question

Ten years ago, the age of anand was one third the age of bala at that time,the present age of bala is 12 years more than the present age of anand. Find the present age of anand?

Answer 1

Answer:

16 years

Step-by-step explanation:

let present age of ANAND AND BALA BE( A AND B ) RESPECTIVELY

A.T.Q

(A-10) = 1/3[B-10]. ......... - {1}

given

B = A+ 12 PUTTING IN 1

THEREFORE A-10 = 1/3 (A+2) = A+2 = 3A - 30

2A =32

A=16

therefore anand age is 16 years

Answer 2

Answer:

Let's assume the present age of Anand is x years.

So, Bala's present age = x+12 years.

10 years ago, the relation between Anand and Bala's age is as follows.

(X-10)=[(X+12)-10]×(1÷3)

= 3× (X-10) = (X+12)-10

= 3X-30= X+2

= 3X-X= 2+30

=2X = 32

= X = 32÷2

= X= 16

So,

1. Anand's present age = 16 years.

2. Bala's present age is= 28 years.
