Mohit’s age fifteen years hence will be equal to thrice that of Naveen three years ago. What will be the sum of their present age?Solution
Mohit = x Naveen = (x-6) 15 years hence, Mohit’s age = (x + 15) years 3 years ago, Naveen = x - 6 - 3 = (x - 9) years Now, (x+15) = 3 (x-9) x + 15 = 3x - 27 42 = 2x x = 21 years Hence, Mohit = 21 years Naveen = 21 - 6 = 15 years Sum of the present ages of Mohit and Naveen = 21 + 15 = 36 years
