Dr.Dipin Singh  (13 years ago)

Present age of paulan not be more than double as his age was two times two years ago.

The age multiple always decreases with increase in age of two persons .
e.g.
If 2 year earlier, ages are 4 and 2 years ..... ratio is 2.
now ages should be 6 and 4 which is 1.5 times
It will go on decreasing as time passes.

@ Sachin,
pls check.
ur sol
ALIC'S AGE :- X
PSUL'S AGE 2 YEARS B4: 2(X-2)=2X-4= 2X=4 => X=2

Can u explain how you have taken 2X=4
have u assumed that PSUL'S AGE 2 YEARS B4: is ZERO.


I think Dipin is right.

Ratio of two ages will always decrease with time when age increases.
well explained by Dipin with example.

ALIC'S AGE :- X
PSUL'S AGE 2 YEARS B4: 2(X-2)=2X-4= 2X=4 => X=2
PAULS PRESENT AGE :- 6(X+2)= 6X + 12 => 24
ALC'S PRESENT AGE:- X+2 = 4
SO PAULS AGE IS 6 TIMES OF ALICS.. :)

Let Poul age at present=p
Alice age at present=a
p-2=2a
and p=6a from the above conditions
a=1/2
so p=6*1/2=3 years
that means poul is 3 years at present

Debashis Dey  (13 years ago)

poul's present age is 6 years.
let x and y be the present ages of poul and alic respectively.
according to question x=6y; x-2=2(6y-2)
solving the equations we get y=1 and x=6.
