Messi’s age is twice the age of Ronaldo. Two years back, Messi’s age was 4 times the age of Ronaldo. Find their ages.

Answer»

ANSWER:

Ronaldo = 3 years Messi = 6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the present age of Ronaldo be =  x yrs.

Present age of Messi = 2X yrs.

Two years back,

Age of Ronaldo = ( x - 2) yrs.

Age of Messi = ( 2x - 2) yrs.

Again,

Age of Messi = 4(x - 2) yrs.

By the problem,

2x - 2 = 4(x - 2)

or, 2x - 4x = -8 + 2

or, -2x = -6

or, x = 6/2

Or, x = 3

Therefore present age of Ronaldo = 3 years

Present age of Messi = 2x = 2*3 = 6 years
