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. Find the age of Mohan. |
18 years 6 years 3 years 16 years |
6 years |
Let the age of mohan's mother = a years and age of mohan = b years After 6 years, age of mother = (a + 6) years After 6 years, age of mohan = (b + 6) years Now according to question: ⇒ a : b = 3 : 1 ⇒ a & b = 3R & 1R After 6 years: ⇒ (a + 6) : (b + 6) = 2 : 1 ⇒ \(\frac{3R\;+\;6}{1R\;+\;6}\) = \(\frac{2}{1}\) ⇒ 3R + 6 = 2R + 12 ⇒ 1R = 6 So, age of Mohan = 1R = 6 years.
