Question

The sum of the ages of Madan and Mohan is 16 years. Four years ago, Madan was 3 times as old as Mohan. Find their present ages​

Answer 1

Answer:

Madan- 8-4=4years, Mohan- 3×8=24-12=12years

Step by step explanation:

x+y=16

age of Madan=x-4

age of Mohan=3(x-4)

x-4+3(x-4)=16

x-4+3x-12=16

x+3x-12-4=16

4x-16=16

4x=16+16

4x=32

x=32/4

x=8
