Mohan's Mother is three times as old as Mohan. After 6 years, his mother will be two times as old as he will be them, find the age of Mohan.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option 2: 6 years
Step 1: Let Mohan’s present age = x
Mother’s present age = 3x
Step 2: After 6 years
Mohan’s age = x + 6
Mother’s age = 3x + 6
According to the condition:
3x + 6 = 2(x + 6)
Step 3: Solve
3x + 6 = 2x + 12
3x − 2x = 12 − 6
x = 6
