. Today 1999, the age of Mohan and his grandmother differ by 6 years. Before 50 years Grandmother age was twice as that of Mohan. What is the present age of Mohan?

• Let before 50 year grandmother's age 2x then mohan's age was x
  So now (2x+50)-(x+50)=6
  X=6 year
  So present age of mohan=6+50=56 year

• What type of ques is this? If grandmother is 62yrs and mohan is 56yrs...then what will be the age of mohan's father???? I guess his father is younger than mohan.

• ans: consider mohan's age =x and grandmother's age=y
  y-x=6 .....(1)
  (y-50)=2(x-50) ......(2)
  by solving this equation x=56

• g-m=6----(1)
  g-50=2*(m-50)
  2m-g=50----(2)
  solving 1 & 2 eqns
  we get,m=56

  You are right data given are impossible but whatever is question, solution should be according to that. No need to think about data

• Present age of Mohan--->M and Present age of Grandmother-->G
  G-M=6......1
  Now,G-50=2(M-50)
  =>2M-G=50.........2
  Putting the value of G from equ 1 to equ 2 we get
  2M-6-M=50
  M=56
  So,present age of Mohan is 56

• let age of grandmother = x yrs
  then age of mohan=(x-6)yrs ( diffrn 6 given)
  age 50 yrs ago,
  grndmother= (x-50)yrs
  mohan= (x-6-50)=(x-56)yrs
  
  a/q,
  x-50=2(x-56)
  solve for x
  u will get
  x=62 yrs (grndmother's age)
  mohan present age= (62-6) yrs= 56 yrs

• m-g=6
  g=2m
  (g-50)=2*(m-50)
  we know that g=m-6..
  (m-6-50)=2*(m-50)
  solving..m=44
