5 years ago Ashu's mother was three times as old as Ashu. After 5 years, she will be twice as old as Ashu. How old is ashu today?
a) 35 years
b) 10 years
c) 20 years
d) 15 years

• 5 years ago::m- mother,a-ashu
  m-5=3(a-5)......eq1
  After 5 years
  m+5=2(a+5)....eq2
  By solving 1&2
  a=15
  So ashu age is 15 years

• let 5 years ago ashu's age=x
  ashu' mother age=3x
  after 5 years
  2(x+10)=(3x+10)
  x=10
  present age of ashu=x+5=10+5=15

• ashu age is 10 yrs
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(2)
• let ashu age =x and mother age=y
  5 years ago ashu age=x-5 mother= y-5
  according to statement y-5=3(x-5) -----------(1)
  after 5 years ashu age=x+5 mother age=y+5
  according to statement y+5=2(x=5) ---------(2)
  soving beqn (1) and (2)
  x=15 yrs
  y=35 yrs

• ==>x-5=3(y-5) {5 years ago .....three times old}
  ==>x-5=3y-15-->1
  ==>x+5=2(y+5) {after 5 years......twice old}
  ==>x+5=2y+10-->2
  
  multiply eq--1 with 2 and eq --2 with 3
  3x+15=6y+30
  2x-10=6y-30
  (-) (+) (-) (+)
  --------------------
  x+25=60
  x=60-25
  x=35
  
  so answer is 35

• 5 years ago ashu age x
  her mother age 3x
  5 years after
  2(x+5)=3x+5
  x=5
  today is x+5=10years
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
• 5 yrs ago Ashu age= X
  5yrs ago ashu's mother age=3x
  And
  After 5 yrs age of Ashu is 2(X+5) and ashu's mother age is 3x+5
  2(X+5)=3x+5
  2x+10=3x+5
  10-5=3x-2x
  X=5
  And now age of Ashu now is 2(X+5)
  2(5+5)
  20
  So now age of Ashu is 20 yrs
