Step-by-step explanation:

Given Vandana grandmother is 70 years old and vandana is 22 years old how many years ago was her grandmother 5 times as old as her

  • Let x be the grand mother’s age and y be vandana’s age. Present age of grandmother is 70 years and Vandana is 22 years.
  • So x – y = 70 – 22 = 48
  • So x – y = 48 ---------------1
  • According to question 5 times Vandana’s age will be grandmother’s age.
  • So 5 y = x
  • Substituting x = 5y in equation 1 we get
  • 5y – y = 48
  • 4y = 48
  • So y = 48/4
  • Or y = 12

Therefore when Vandana was 12 years old her grandmother’s age was 5 times her age.

10 Years ago Vandana Grandmother was 5 times as old as Vandana

Step-by-step explanation:

Vandana grandmother is 70 years old and vandana is 22 years old

Let say x years before Vandana  grandmother 5 times as old as Vandana

x year before Vandana age = 22 - X  Years

x years before Vandana grandmother age = 70 - X  Years

70 - X = 5 (22 - X)

=> 70 - X = 110 - 5X

=> 4X = 40

=> X = 10

Hence 10 Years ago Vandana Grandmother was 5 times as old as Vandana
