Question 73
Bipul is 16 years younger than Saibal. 12 years hence, Bipul’s age will be 1.5 times that
of Saibal. Saibal is now ......... years old.
Solution
Let the present age of Saibal is S years and that of Bipul is B years.
Given, B = S - 16 years
Age of Saibal after 12 years will be S+12 years and that of Bipul will be B+12 years
Substituting B = S-16 in S+12 => Age of Bipul after 12 years = S-16+12 = S-4 years
Given, (S-4)1.5 = S+12
=> 1.5S - 6 = S+12
=> 0.5S = 18
=> S = 36
Therefore, The present age of Saibal is 36 years.
