than the sum of the present age of Manoj and Nisha. Find the value of x?
​

Answer 1

Given,

Gautham and Manoj age ratio = 35:x.

Nisha is six years elder than Manoj.

Nisha's age after eight years will be 30.

Gautham is now 3 years less than the sum the age of Manoj and Nisha.

To Find,

The value of x is Manoj's age.

Solution,

The age ratio of Gautham and Manoj = 35:x.

Here, a condition is given that,

Manoj is six yr less than Nisha.

Age of Manoj = Nisha  - 6.

And one condition is there that Nish will be 30yrs old after 8yrs.

So, her present age is 30-8

22yrs.

Therefore, Manoj's present age will be

Nisha - 6 = 22 -6

16.

Hence, the value of x in the question is 16.
