-
- at d time of marriage
women=x
men=x+6
after 12 years
women=x+12
men=x+18
accn to d ques (6/5)(x+12)=x+18
=>x=90-72=18 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(13) No(0)
- Let m be the man's age at the time of marriage,w be the wife's age at the time of marriage
m=w+6 ------------------------(1)
m+12=6/5(w+12) -------------------(2)
solve (1) and (2)
w=18 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- let wife's age 'x' and man's age is 'x+6'
after 12 years 6/5(x+12)=x+6+12
6x+72=5(x+18)=>6x+72=5x+90=>x=18
wife's age at the time of marraige is 18 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- (6+x)/x at the time of maariage
(6+x+12)/(x+12)=(6/5)/1 after 12 years
x=18 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- 18 years. M=W+6. M+12=(W+12)*(6/5) SOLVING BOTH EQN WE CAN GET W= 16 YEARS
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- let women age=x
men =x+6
after 12 years
women=x+12
men=x+18
then according to condition (6/5)(x+12)=x+18
x=90-72
=18 years. - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- 90=W+108=18
- 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- let,
wife age= x yrs
hus age= x+6.
after 12 years wife age= x+12
Hus age= x+18 whicch is = (x+12)x(6/5)
x+18=(6x+72)/5
5x+90=6x+72
wife age x = 18
hus age= 24 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)
- let man's age be m and wife's be w. at the time of marriage, w+6=m. after 12 years of marriage, 12+m=6/5(w+12). solving the two equations we get the answer 18
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Wife age=18
- 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- M=W+6
AFTER 12 YRS,
M+12=6/5*(W+12)
5(M+12)=6(W+12)
5M+60=6W+72
PUT THE VALUE OF M
5(W+6)+60=6W+72
5W+30+60=6W+72
6W-5W=90-72
W=18
ANS=18 - 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
