Age of tarun be t,
Given, mahesh's age = 3 × tarun's age
=> m = 3t ----1equation
Two years ago,
Mahesh's age = (m - 2)
Tarun's age = (t - 2)
According to the question :
Az
Mahesh's age = 4 × Tarun's age
(m - 2) = 4 × (t - 2)
Putting the value of m from 1equation,
(3t - 2) = 4(t - 2)
3t - 2 = 4t - 8
8 - 2 = 4t - 3t
6 = t
Hence, Present age of tarun= t = 6 years
Present age of mahesh = m = 3t = 18 years
Step-by-step explanation:
tarun=6
mahesh=18
