Seven years from now Virat will be twice as old as Mohinder. Five years ago Mohinder’s age was oneyear less than $$\frac{2}{5}$$ of Virat’s age. What is Virat’s present age?
Let the of virat be x
Mohinders age be y(present)
Seven years hence,
Age of virat=x+7
Age of mohinder=y+7
EQUATION 1:x+7=2(y+7)
=>x-2y=7
Five years ago,
Age of virat=x-5
Age of mahinder=y-5
EQUATION 2:
$$2\div 5(x-5)-1=y-5$$
=>$$2\div 5(x-y)=-2$$
=>$$4\div 5x-2y=-4$$
x - 2y = 7
$$- 4\div 5x+2y=4$$
_____________
$$1\div 5× =11$$
× =55
Virat age= 55 yrs
