Rahul’s father age will be twice of Rahul after 3 years and thrice the age of Rahul after 1 year. How old will be Rahul after 20 years?

Rahul’s father age will be twice of Rahul after 3 years and thrice the age of Rahul after 1 year. How old will be Rahul after 20 years? Correct Answer 21 years

Let, the age of Rahul = x

Age of Rahul’s father = y

According to the question,

y + 3 = 2x + 6

y = 2x + 6 – 3

y = 2x + 3

&, y + 1 = 3x + 3

y = 3x + 3 – 1

y = 3x + 2

Equating y in both the equations, we get

2x + 3 = 3x + 2

x = 1

Hence, after 20 years, age of Rahul = 1 + 20 = 21 years
