The difference between the present ages of Avanthi and Kapil is 9 years. After 7 years, Kapil’s age is twice of Avanthi’s age. What will be Kapil’s age after 4 years?

Correct Answer: 15

Explanation:

Let the present ages of Kapil and Avanthi be K & A


Given difference in their ages = K - A = 9 years ...........(1)


After 7 years, K + 7 =  2(A + 7) ......(2)


K + 7 = 2A + 14


K - 2A = 7 ............(3)


K - A = 9 ....(1)


From (1) & (3),


-A = -2


=> A = 2 years


=> K = 9 + 2 = 11 years


 


Required, age of Kapil after 4 years = 11 + 4 = 15 years.
