Question

Fifteen years from now Ravi's age will be four times his present age.What is Ravi's present age ? Frame the equation and solve.

Answer 1

Ravi's age after 15 years = x+15

Ravi's age = 4 times his present age = 4x

According to question -

15 + x = 4x

=> 15 = 4x-x = 3x

=> 15 = 3x

=> x = 15/3

=> x = 5

Thus , Ravi's present age is 5 years.
