4Â years, 5Â months ago
Four years earlier, ages were:
Pavun: 6, Suresh: 6, Mayank: 16
At present, ages are:
Pavun: 10, Suresh: 10, Mayank: 20
Therefore, after 4 years, Suresh will be 14 years old (10+4)
This can be calculated as follows:
Let age of Pavun and Suresh be x, age of Mayank be y.
From the statements, we know:
A) 2x=y, Thus 2x - y = 0
B) x-4:y-4 = 3:8
which turns out to be 8x - 3y = 20
If we compare 2x - y = 0 and 8x - 3y = 20, we get x = 10.
So, present age of Suresh = 10 (which is x)
4 years hence, Suresh will be 10 + 4 = 14 years old.
I hope I explained it.
