Step-by-step explanation:
Two years ago, Raju was thrice as old as his daughter and six years later, he will be four years older than twice her age. How old are they now?
Let the age of Raju be ‘ x ’ and the age of daughter = ‘ y ’ both in year
Then 2 years back their ages are x - 2 and y - 2
∴ By the given condition
️ • x - 2 = 3(y - 2)
️• x - 3y = -4 ………(i)
️ Again six years later their age will be x + 6 and y + 6 respectively.
∴ By the given condition
️• x + 6 = 2(y + 6) + 4
• x - 2y = 10 ………(ii)
Subtraction from (ii) from (i) , we get
➭ -y = -14
➭ y = 14
Put y = 14 in equation (i) , we get
️➭ x - 3 × 14 = -4
️➭ x = 38
∴ x = 38 ; y = 14
So, Raju's present age = 38 years
Raju's daughter age = 14 years
Hence Verified
