- Question
- Ashu's mother was three times as old as Ashu 5 years ago. After 5 years she will be twice as old as Ashu. How old is Ashu today?
Options- A. 35 years
- B. 10 years
- C. 20 years
- D. 15 years
- Correct Answer
- 15 years
ExplanationSuppose the present ages of Ashu and her mother be P and Q years respectively.
According to question,
5 years ago , 3 × ( ages of Ashu - 5 ) = ages of Ashu's mother - 5
? 3 ( P - 5 ) = Q - 5
? 3P - 15 = Q - 5
? 3P - Q = 10 ... (i)
Again, After 5 years , 2 × ( ages of Ashu + 5 ) = ages of Ashu's mother + 5
? 2(P + 5) = Q + 5
? 2P + 10 = Q + 5
? 2P ? Q = - 5.... (ii)
From equations (i) and (ii) , we get
P = 15 years
Therefore, Ashu is 15 year old at present. - 1. NA
