QUESTION:-
Four years ago rahims age was three times ramus age after two years it would be double what are their ages now?
ANSWER:-
Rahim’s age be x
Ramu’s age be y
Four years ago
x-4 = 3(y-4)
x- 3y = -8
After two years
x+2=2(y+2)
x- 2y = 2
On solving two equations
Rahim’s age= 22
Ramu’s age = 10
I HOPE IT'S HELP YOU
THANKS
Verified answer
The present age of rahim is 22 years and the present age of ramu is 10 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Age of Ramu 4 years ago = x
Age of Rahim 4 years ago = 3x
After two years = 6 years (Because 4 years is in past)
Age of Ramu = x + 6
Age of Rahim = 3x + 6
Present ages = x + 4 & 3x + 4
3x + 6 = 2(x + 6)
3x + 6 = 2x + 12
3x - 2x = 12 - 6
x = 6
Age of Ramu = x + 4
Age of Ramu = 6 + 4
Age of Ramu = 10 years
Age of Rahim = 3x + 4
Age of Rahim = 3(6) + 4
Age of Rahim = 18 + 4
Age of Rahim = 22 years
