Rajeev's age is four more than the age of Shilpa. The age of Shilpa can be obtained by subtracting four times her age 4 years ago from the four times her age after 4 years. What was Rajeev's age before 4 years ?

Correct Answer: 32 years

Explanation:

Let Shilpa's present age is p years


According to question,


p = 4(x+4) – 4(x–4)


p = 4x+16 – 4x+16


p = 32


Shilpa's present age = 32 years


Rajeev is four years older than Shilpa


=> Shilpa's present age = Rajeev's age 4 years before.


=> Rajeev's age 4 years before = 32 years.
