The combined age of joshi and jonny is 49.Joshi is twice as old as Jonny was when Joshi as old as Jonny is now.How old are they
Answers
Age of Joshi = 28 Years and Age of Jonny = 21 Years
Explanation:
Let say Age of joshi = X
Age of Jonny = Y
combined age of joshi and jonny is 49
X + Y = 49
joshi is twice as old as jonny was when joshi as old as jonny is now
joshi as old as jonny is now
Joshi is Y years hence X - Y Years ago
Jonny age X - Y years ago = Y - (X - Y) = 2Y - X years
Joshi is twice as old as jonny was
X = 2 (2Y - X)
X = 4Y - 2X
3X = 4Y
X + Y = 49
3X = 4(49 - X)
7X = 4 x 49
X = 4 x 7
X = 28
Y = 21
Age of Joshi = 28 Years
Age of Jonny = 21 Years
