Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFLet ages of Virat and Mohinder be A and B years respectively.
Seven years from now Virat will be twice as old as Mohinder,
⇒ (A + 7) = 2(B + 7)
⇒ A – 2B = 7
Five years ago, Mohinder’s age was one year less than 2/5 of Virat’s age,
⇒ (B – 5) = 2/5(A – 5) – 1
⇒(B - 5) = \(\frac{2A - 10 - 5}{5}\)
⇒ 5B - 25 = 2A - 15
⇒ 2A – 5B = -10
⇒ 2(7 + 2B) – 5B = -10
⇒ B = 24
⇒ A = 7 + 48 = 55
∴ Virat’s age is 55 years.Last updated on Jun 2, 2025
