-
- ans.A
(x-6)/(y-6)=6/5
(x+4)/(y+4)=11/10
after solving we get y=16 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(30) No(0)
- Let Kunal's age=x Sagar's age=y
x-6/y-6=6/5
=> 5x-6y=-6
x+4/y+4=11/10
=> 10x-11y=4
Hence, y=Sagar's age=16 years - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- 16 year
current age of kunal=x
current age of sagar=y
6 year ago=(x-6)/(y-6)=6/5
after 4 year=(x+4)/(y+4)=11/10
kunal=16
sagar=12
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
- ans.18 years
x=2then
6x+6=18 - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(24)
- E. none of these
ans will be 12 years - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(5)
- A.16
16-6=10 it's multiple of 5 which sagar age 6 years ago
16+4=20 It's multiple of 10 which is Sager age after 4 years - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- let 's' and 'k' be the present ages of sagar and kunal
six years ago ,(s-6)/(k-6) = 6/5
===> 5s - 6k =-6 -----(1)
Four years later, (s+4)/(k+4) = 11/10
====> 10s - 11y = 4 -----(2)
solving (1) & (2)
s=18, k=16 - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Let the ages of Kunal and Sagar 6 years ago be 6x and 5x years respectively.
Then, (6x + 6) + 4 = 11
(5x + 6) + 4 10
10(6x + 10) = 11(5x + 10)
5x = 10
x = 2.
Sagar's present age = (5x + 6) = 16 years. - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
