Question

Vinay was 1/3rd as old as Vikas 5 years back and Vinay is 17 years as old now. How old is Vikas now?​

Answer 1

Answer:

41 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Vinay was 1/3 as old as Vikas 5 years back

Take Vikas' age as x

so then Vinay's age 5 years back was 1/3 x

Vinay's age now= 17 years

Five years back= 12 years

so 12=1/3 of x

12*3=x

36=x

x was Vinay's age five years back

So Vinay's age now=36+5

=41 years.
