Question

The ages of ram and mohan differ by 16 years. six years ago, mohan's age was thrice as that of ram's, find their present ages.

Answer 1

Suppose, The Present Age Of Ram Is x And The Present Age Of Mohan Is y.

Now, According To The First Condition,
x-y=16. -(1)

Now, According To The Second Condition,
x-6=3(y-6).

x-6=3y-18

x-3y=(-12). -(2)

Now, Subtract Equation (1) From Equation (2),
We Get,

(-2y)=(-28)

2y=28

y=28÷2

y=12

Now, Substitute The Value Of y In Equation (1),
We Get,

x-12=16

x=28

Therefore, The Age Of Ram (x) Is 28 And
The Age Of Mohan (y) Is 12.
