Question

The Sum of ages of two siblings Akshat and Anubhav is 56 years. After the time span of 4 years the age of the Akshat will be three times that of the Anubhav. What is the present age of the Anubhav?

Answer 1

Answer:

age of Akshat = 44 and age of Anubhav = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

let age of present age of Akshat = "X1"

and present age of Anubhav= "X2"

Answer 2

Answer:

The present age of Anubhav is 12 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Akshat be 'x' years

and the age of Anubhav be 'y' years.

Then according to the conditions,

x + y = 56                                                 --(i)

Their ages after 4 years will be:

Akshat = x + 4 and

Anubhav = y + 4

Then, according to the question,

x + 4 = 3 (y + 4)

=> x + 4 = 3y + 12

=> x - 3y = 8                                      --(ii)

Solving equation (i) and (ii), we get,

4y = 48

=> y = 12

Substituting y = 12 in equation (i)

=> x + 12 = 56

=> x = 56 - 12

=> x = 44

Therefore, the present age of Anubhav is 12 years.
