Question

The sum of tikendra and tejaram's age is 30 whereas tikendra age is twice of tejaram's age.

Answer 1

Answer:

Tejaram's age is 10 years and Tikendra's age is 20 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Tejaram's age be x.

Therefore,

Tikendra's age will be 2x.

According to the problem,

=>2x+x=30

=>3x=30

=>x=30/3

therefore, x=10

x is Tejaram's age which is equal to 10.

Tikendra's age is 2x which is equal to 20.

Verification:

Tikendra's age + Tejaram's age=30

=>20+10=30

=>30=30

LHS=RHS;

Hence verified.

Answer 2

GIVEN:

• The sum of Tikendra and Tejaram's age is 30
• Tikendra age is twice of Tejaram's age.

TO FIND:

• What are their present ages ?

SOLUTION:

Let the Tikendra's age be 'x' years and Tejaram's age be 'y' years

We have given that, Tikendra's age is twice of Tejaram's age.

$\bf{\hookrightarrow x = 2y....1) }$

The sum of Tikendra and Tejaram's age is 30

$\bf{\hookrightarrow x + y = 30....2) }$

Put the value of 'x' from equation 1) in equation 2)

$\rm{\hookrightarrow 2y + y = 30 }$

$\rm{\hookrightarrow 3y = 30 }$

$\rm{\hookrightarrow y = \dfrac{30}{3} }$

$\bf{\hookrightarrow y = 10}$

Put the value of 'y' in equation 1)

$\rm{\hookrightarrow x = 2 \times 10 }$

$\bf{\hookrightarrow x = 20}$

• Tikendra's age = x = 20 years
• Tejaram's age = y = 10 years

❝ Hence, the present ages of Tikendra and Tejaram are 20 years and 10 years respectively. ❞
