Question

Three years ago Hari was 5 years older than Anushka. If he is now twice as old as she was. Then find their present ages.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Now, age of Hari is 10 years and Anushka is 5 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the present age of Hari is X and Anushka is Y.

Given, three years ago Hari was 5 years older than Anushka

Therefore, X-3= 5+ (Y-3)

X = Y + 5

At present, Hari is twice as old as Anushka

so, X = 2Y

Putting X=2Y in above equation

2Y= Y+5

Y= 5

X= 10

Now, age of Hari is 10 years and Anushka is 5 years.

This is the required answer.

Answer 2

let the anushka be x

Hari be 2x

3 year

Anushka x-3

Hari 2x-3

according to the conditions

(2x-3)=(x-3)+5

2x-3=-3+5

2x-x=3-3+5

x=5

Therefore present age of anushka is 5 year old

and Hari is 10 year old
