Question

Vijay is older than his sister Seema by 12 years .4 years ago Vijay was 4 times as old as his sister. Vijay's age after 4 years will be ______

Answer 1

Answer:

24 years

Step-by-step explanation:

let Vijay present age be x

Seema present age will be x - 12

Vijay age 4 years ago = x - 12

Seema age 4 years ago = x - 12 - 4 = x - 16

four years ago Vijay was 4 times Seema age

x - 4 = 4 (x - 16)

x - 4 = 4x - 64

x - 4x = - 64 + 4

- 3x = - 60

3x = 60

x = 60/3

x = 20

therefore present age of Vijay is 20

after 4 years Vijay age will be = 20 + 4 = 24 years

Hope you get your answer
