Question

Arjun is twice as old as shriya. If 5 years ago his age was 3 times shriya s age ,then what is arjun s present age?

Answer 1

20

Explanation:

Let Shriya's current age b x. Arjun's current age will be 2x.

5 years ago, Arjun's age was 2x-5 and Shriya's age was x-5.

Since Arjun's age was 3 times Shriya's age 5 years ago,

2x-5 = 3 (x-5)

x = 10

2x = 20
