Question

The age of Sushil 6 years ago was three times the age of Sanchit. 6 years hence the age of Sushil would be 5/3 times that of Sanchit. What is the present age of Sanchit?

Answer 1

let the present age of sushil = x
let the present age of sanchit = y

ACCORDING TO THE QUESTION
x - 6 = 3( y -6)
x - 6 = 3y - 18
x - 3y = -18 + 6
x-3y = -12 this is equation ( 1)

6+ x = 5/3 ( y- 6)
6+x = 5/3 y - 10
x - 5/3y = -10 -6
x - 5/3y = -16.
