......

Answer 2

Answer:

let's consider their present age as x

thus,amit present age x and Rahul' age 2x

After 10 years,

amit age = x+10 yrs

Rahul's age=2x+10

therefore,x+10=2x+10

x on one sides

x-2x=10+10

-2x=20

20/2

x=10

After 10 yrs ,Amit age =x+10

10+10

= 20.

After 10 yrs,Rahul's age=2x+10

x=10-2

8

thus,Amit's age is 20 years and Rahul's age is 8 years
