Answer:

The present age of Vikram is 54 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Vikram's age = 4 times the sum of ages of his son

After 6 years = He will be twice the sum of his sons' ages

To find :

Vikram's age

Solution :

Let the ages be -

  • sum of ages of two sons be x years 
  • Age of Vikram = 4x years 

Let the ages after 6 years be -

  • Vikram = (3x + 6) years 
  • Sum of ages of two sons = (x + 12) years 

According to the Question -

After 6 years = He will be twice the sum of his sons' ages

⇒ (3x + 6) = 2(x + 12)

⇒ 3x + 6 = 2x + 24

⇒ 3x - 2x = 24 - 6

⇒ x = 18

Sum of the present ages of Vikram's sons = 18

\rule{300}{1.5}

Value of 3x

⇒ 18 × 3

⇒ 54

\therefore The present age of Vikram is 54 years.

SOLUTION:-

Given:

•Vikrams age is four times the sum of the ages of his two sons.

•6 years hence, his age will be double the aim of their ages.

To find:

Find vikrams age.

Explanation:

Le the sum of ages of two sons be R years.

Let the age of vikrams is 4R years.

6 years hence:

Age of the vikrams is (4R +6) years.

Age of the two sons is (R+12) years.

According to the question:

=) (4R +6) = 2(R+12)

=) 4R +6 = 2R + 24

=) 4R -2R = 24 -6

=) 2R = 18

=) R= 18/2

=) R =9 years

So,

The age of Vikrams is 4R = (4×9) years

=) 36 years.

Thank you.
