Arjun is twice as old as Shriya. Five years ago, his age was three times Shriya's age. What is Arjun's present age?

Answer»

Hi friend!

Shriya's AGE = X
Arjun's age= 2x

5 yrs ago,
Shriya=x-5
Arjun = 2x-5

It was THREE times of Shriya's age.
2x - 5 = 3(x - 5)
2x - 5 = 3x - 15
-5 + 15 = 3x - 2x
10 = x

Shriya's present age = 10 years
Arjun's present age = 2x = 2 * 10 = 20 years.

Hope that helped you, my friend.
And hope you FOUND my answer useful .
