Question

vasu is 3 years younger than his sibling Arun. five years ago, he was 6 less than twice Aruns age. find their present age. ​

Answer 1

Vasu’s present age = x
Arun’s present age = x+3
Arun’s age 5 years ago= (x+3)-5 = x-2
Vasu’s age 5 years ago= x-5

Now, according to question,
x-5 = 2(x-2)-6
x-5 = 2x-4-6
2x-x = -5+10
x = 5

Therefore, Vasu’s present age= 5
Arun’s present age= 8

However, the question is logically wrong because 5 years ago, Vasu’s age would be 0 years
