a) 10 b) 20 c)15 d) none of these
Read Solution (Total 18)
-
- Let Bhavna’s present age be represented as B
Let her daughter Anushka’s age be represented as A.
B = 3 A
Ten years ago,
B - 10 = 5(A – 10)
3A - 10 = 5A - 50
-10 + 50 = 5A – 3A = 2 A
40 = 2 A
A = 20.
B = 3 x A = 60.
Present sum of their ages = A + B = 80.
When 10 is added to both A and B, Sum of their ages will become 100. Hence, after 10 years, their sum of ages will be 100. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(58) No(0)
- let anushka is x, then bhavna is 3x. 10 years ago bhavna is 3x-10 and anushka is x-10. given 10 years ago bhavna is 5 times anushka i.e. 3x-10=5(x-10) .therfore
x=20. present age of bhavna is 60 and anushka is 20 after 10 years sum of there ages will be 100 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(8) No(2)
- B=3A
THEN 10 YEARS AGO
B-10=5(A-10)
3A-10=5A-50
40=20A
A=20
B=3(20)=60
SUM IS=A+B=80
WHEN 10 ADD TO BOTH A AND BIS 100 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- Initially , present age of anushka= x;
present age of bhavna= 3x;
before 10 yrs...
3x-10=5(x-10)
x=20;
3*20=60=bhavya
20 =anushka
if 10 yrs is increased........
bhavya=60+10=70
anushka=20+10=30
total=100 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- assume current age bhavana(x) and anush(y) as 60,20 where x=3Y
10 years ago there age is 50,10 ehere it satisfy x=5Y,
so present age is 60+20=80,10 year after there age is 100 where 60+10,20+10=100,
requre year is 10 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- let present age be B and d(of daughter)
bhavana = 3(Daughter)
B = 3D ------EQUATION(1)
ten years ago
B-10 = 5(D-10)
B-10 = 5D-50
B = 5D-50+10
B =5D-40
from equation 1
3D = 5D-40
2D = 40
D = 20
so Bhavana B = 60
after 10 years from now
their sum will be 30+70=100
so option A - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- B=3A,
B-10=5(A-10),
Solving both we get B=60, A=20
Now we know that (B+x)+(A+x)=100
puting value of B & A we get:
80+2x=100,
2x=100-80,
x=10
Ans=10 years - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- ans will be after 10 years..
Present age of anushka = x
present age oh bhavna = 3x
10 years ago bhavna age = 5(3x-10)
10 years ago anushka age = x-10
after solving it will get x= 10(which is the agr og anushka 10 years back)
now present age of anushka is= 10+x=10+10=20
bhavna present age 3x=3*10+10 = 60.
sum of their ages are 20+60 =80.(present age)
after 10 years ages are 30(anushka)+70(bhavna)=100.
so ans is 10..
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Solution :
Let Bhavna’s present age be represented as B
Let her daughter Anushka’s age be represented as A.
B = 3 A
Ten years ago,
B - 10 = 5(A – 10)
3A - 10 = 5A - 50
-10 + 50 = 5A – 3A = 2 A
40 = 2 A
A = 20.
B = 3 x A = 60.
Present sum of their ages = A + B = 80.
When 10 is added to both A and B, Sum of their ages will become 100. Hence, after 10
years, their sum of ages will be 100.
Answer 10 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- let present age of the mother be A
and the present age age of her daughter be B
from given data B=3A....(1)
and B-10=5(A-10)....(2)
by solving 1&2 we get A=20,B=60
after 10 years their both ages becomes 70 and 30 so his condition that sum =100 gets satisfied after 10 years
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Bhavna = 3(Anushka) => B = 3A
Bhavna - 10 = 5(Anushka - 10) => B - 10 = 5(A - 10)
5A - B = 40 (1)
-3A + B = 0 (2)
Solving 1 and 2 we get A = 20, B = 60
So after 10years A=30 and B = 70 now A+B=100
So answer is a)10years - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- their present age is 30 n 10 then after 30 years their sum vl be 100
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- let 10 yrs ago their age be B and D
then B=5D
after 10 yrs i.e., currently
B+10=3(D+10)
5D+10=3D+30
5D-3D=20
D=10(10yrs ago)
current age D=20
B=60
so after 10 yrs their age will sum up to 100(sorry for the last incomplete ans) - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Letanushka age =x,then bhawna age=3x
befor 10 years,3x-10=5(x-10),x=20 and y=60
20+60=80,so after 10 yr 30+70=100
ans=10 yr - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 10 year ago let x anuska age
and 5x bhavan age
in present
5x+10=39x+10)
x=10
present age will be
10+10=20(anuska)
5*10+10=60(bhavan)
let after y year theier age sum will be 100
so, 20+y+60+y=100
so y=10 year
after 10year their age sum will be 100
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- (B-10)=5(A-10)
B=3A
3A-10=5A-50
60,20
60+20+(20)=100 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- but priyanka jain
