Age of Sonali is three times more than the age of her son Joy. After 4 years, she would be 2.6 times the age of Joy. Before 8 years, Sonali’s age was how many times the age of Joy?
Age of Sonali is three times more than the age of her son Joy. After 4 years, she would be 2.6 times the age of Joy. Before 8 years, Sonali’s age was how many times the age of Joy? Correct Answer 5
Suppose the present ages of Sonali and her son Joy are 3x and x respectively;
After 4 years :
(3x + 4) = 2.6(x + 4)
⇒ 0.4x = 10.4 – 4
⇒ 0.4x = 6.4
⇒ x = 16
Present ages of Sonali and her son Joy = 48 and 16 years
Now,
Before 8 years :
Age of Sonali = 48 – 8 = 40
Age of Joy = 16 – 8 = 8
Hence,
Sonali’s age was 5 times the age of Joy 8 years before.
