Raji is a is thrice times more than that of brother after two years is it be that of charge and how are they now |
|
Answer» LET the present age of raji and brother be x and y respectively. ∴ Given that five YEARS ago, SHIKHA was thrice as old as Rani. ⇒(x−5)=3(y−5) ⇒x−5=3y−15 ⇒3y−x=10⟶(i) Also given that 10 years later, Shikha will be twice as old as Rani. ∴(x+10)=2(y+10) ⇒x+10=2y+20 ⇒x=2y+10 Substituting the value of x in EQ n (i), we have 3y−(2y+10)=10 ⇒3y−2y−10=10 ⇒y=20 ∵x=2y+10 ⇒x=2×20+10 ⇒x=50 Hence, present age of Shikha and Rani are 50 and 20 respectively. |
