Question

Two year ago my age was x years, then what was my age 5 years ago?

a) X + 7

b) X - 2 - 5

c) X - 5

d) X- 3​

Answer 1

2 years ago your age was x years , so 5 years ago your age will be x - 3 years.

Remember that x is not your present age it is your age 2 years ago .

So your present age will be x + 2 years .

Now , if from present u have to find your age 5 years ago so u have to subtract 5 from present age  .

That is , x + 2 - 5 = x - 3 .

Answer 2

Answer:

Required age is x+7.

So, option a is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given before two year my age was x years.

So my present age is $x + 2$years.

Now we want to find what is my age after 5 years.

So after 5 years my age will be $(x + 2) + 5 = x + 7$years.

It is a sum of age calculation.

By addition and subtraction we can easily find age after and before.

For example let present age of Ram be 20 years.

So, After 5 years age of Ram will be $(20 + 5) = 25$years

again let present age of shyam be 60 years.

So, before 10 years age of Shyam was $(60 - 10) = 50$years
