-
- 30 years
My present age is 36 and your present age is x.
then
when you(B)were 36/4 = 9 yrs old, my age (A)was x/2 years
so
(x/2) -9 = 36-x
x-18 =72-2x
3x= 90
x= 30 years - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(4)
- Ans:30 years
At present A age=36yrs
let B age =B yrs
In past A's age= B/2 years
B's age=A/4 =36/4=9 years
Difference of ages of A and B will be same at any year
Therefore,
36-B=(B/2)-9
45=3B/2
B=30 - 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
