Question

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

Answer 1

Given:

The sum of Tikendra and Tejaram's age is 30

Tikendra age is twice of Tejaram's age.

Find:

The present ages

Solution:

Let the Tikendra's age be 'x' years.

Let the Tejaram's age be 'y' years

We have,

Tikendra's age is twice of Tejaram's age.

=> x = 2y .......(i).

The sum of Tikendra and Tejaram's age is 30

=> x + y = 30 .......(ii).

Putting the value of 'x' from equation (i) in equation (ii).

=> x + y = 30

=> 2y + y = 30

=> 3y = 30

=> y = 30/3

=> y = 10

Putting the value of 'y' in equation (i).

=> x = 2y

=> x = 2 × 10

=> x = 20

Now,

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.

I hope it will help you.
