Question

The present age of Mohit’s uncle is twice the present age of Mohit. Six years ago, the sum of their ages was 30 years.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let present age of Mohit=x

then Mohits uncle=2x

6 years ago Mohit=x-6

                   Uncle=2x-6

sum=30

x-6 + 2x-6=30

3x-12=30

x=30-12/3

x=6

Answer 2

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

let present age of Mohit =x

then Mohit's uncle age =2x

6 years ago Mohit's age =x-6

                  Uncle's age =2x-6

ATQ,

sum of ages =30  

(x-6) + (2x-6) =30  

3x-12 = 30

3x = 42

x =42/3

x =14

So Mohit is 14 years old and his uncle is 28 years old.
