Two years ago, Mihir's age was 2 times of her son's age and after 2 years, 3 times of his age will be equal to 5 times his son's age. Find the present age of Mihir .
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Let the present age of Mihir = 2x + 2
present age of Mihir's son = x + 2
Now, after 2 years
According to question , 3 ( 2x + 4) = 5 ( x+ 4)
6x + 12 = 5x + 20
x = 8 years
present age of Mihir = 2(8) + 2 = 18
