Question

After 24 years, Rama will be 5 times as old as he is now . Find his Present Age .​

Answer 1

Given :

• After 24 years, Rama will be 5 times as old as he is now .

⠀

To Find :

• Rama's Present Age .

⠀

Solution :

• Let us assume the present age of Rama as x years .
• So, 5 times of his age will be 5x years.

Now,

⠀

According to the Question :

`{ \longrightarrow {\qquad {\sf 5x = x + 24 }}}`

⠀

Subracting x from both sides we get :

`{ \longrightarrow {\qquad {\sf 5x - x= x - x+ 24 }}}`

`{ \longrightarrow {\qquad {\sf 4x= \cancel{x} \: \: \cancel{- x}+ 24 }}}`

`{ \longrightarrow {\qquad {\sf 4x= 24 }}}`

⠀

Dividing both sides by 4 we get :

`{ \longrightarrow {\qquad {\sf (4x)/(4) = (24)/(4) }}}`

`{ \longrightarrow {\qquad \pmb {\bf x= 6 }}}`

⠀

Therefore,

• Rama's present age is 6 years.

`\rule {180pt} {2pt}`

Given :-

• After 20 years, Rama will be 5 times as old as he is Now .

To Find :-

• Present Age of Rama = ?

Solution :-

As per the provided information in the given question, we have been given that After 20 years, Rama will be 5 times as old as he is now. And, we have been aksed to calculate Present Age of Rama.

Let :-

• The Present Age of Rama be x .

Therefore :-

`\longmapsto \: \: \:\sf{x \: + \: 24 \: = \: 5x} \\`

`\longmapsto \: \: \sf{24 \: = \: 5x \: - \: x} \\`

`\longmapsto \: \: \sf{24 \: = \: 4x} \\`

`\longmapsto \: \: \sf{x \: = \: (24)/(4) } \\`

`\longmapsto \: \: \textbf{ \textsf{x \: = \: 6 }}`

Hence :-

• Present Age of Rama = 6 years .

`\underline {\rule {180pt} {4pt}}`
