The difference between age of two brothers is 3 years five years ago the younger was 2/5 times the age of elder brother and their present age

Answer»

\sf\large\underline{Let:}

\rm{The\: present\: age\:of\:elder\: brother=x\: year's}

\rm{The\: present\:age\:of\: younger\: brother=y\:year's}

\sf\large\underline{To\: Find:}

\rm{The\: present\:age\:two\: brother's}

\sf\large\underline{Solution:}

\sf\large\underline{Given:in\:1st\:case:}

\rm{The\: difference\: between\:age\:two\: brothers=3}

\rm{\implies x-y=3}

\rm\green{\implies x-y=3------(i)}

\rm{\implies x=3+y}

\sf\large\underline{Given:in\:2nd\:case:}

\rm{Five\: years\:ago\: younger\:was\:2/5\: times\:the\:age\:of\: elder\: brother}

\rm{\implies y-5=\dfrac{2}{5}(x-5)}

\rm{\implies 2x-10=5y-25}

\rm{\implies 2x-5y=-25+10}

\rm\red{\implies 2x-5y=-15------(<klux>II</klux>)}

  • [Putting the VALUE of X=3+y in EQ ii]

\rm{\implies 2x-5y=-15}

\rm{\implies 2(3+y)-5y=-15}

\rm{\implies 6+2y-5y=-15}

\rm{\implies -3y=-15-6}

\rm{\implies -3y=-21}

\rm\red{\implies y=7}

  • [putting the value of y=7 in i]

\rm{\implies x-y=3}

\rm{\implies x-7=3}

\rm{\implies x=3+7}

\rm\red{\implies x=10}

Hence,

\rm{\implies The\: present\:age\:of\: elder\: brother=10\: year's}

\rm{\implies The\: present\:age\:of\: younger\: brother=7\: year's}
