Rani, who is y years old at present, is x years older than Hamid. Fifteen years ago, Hamid's age was 1/4 of the age of Rani. Which of the following is true ? Correct Answer 3y - 4x = 45
Given:
The present age of Rani = y
Rani is x year older than Hamid
Fifteen years ago, Hamid's age was 1/4 of the age of Rani
Calculation:
Age of Hamid + x years = age of Rani
Age of Hamid = age of Rani - x = y - x
According to the question:
Fifteen years ago, the age of Hamid = y - x - 15
Fifteen years ago, the age of Rani = y - 15
Hence, y - x - 15 = 1/4 × (y - 15)
⇒ 4y - 4x - 60 = y - 15
⇒ 3y - 4x = 45
Hence option 1 is correct i.e. 3y - 4x = 45
