Asked by admin @ in Math viewed by 291 People


5 yrs ago, Nuri was thrice as old as Sonu. 10 yrs later, Nuri will be twice as old Sonu. How old are Nuri n Sonu?

Answered by admin @



Let the present age of Nuri be x years and present age of sonu be y years.


According to given conditions,


5 years ago,


x - 5 = 3(y - 5)


x - 3y = -10 ...... (Eqn 1)


10 year later,


x + 10 = 2(y + 10)


x - 2y = 10 ........ (Eqn 2)


On subtracting eqn 1 from 2,


(x - 2y) - (x - 3y) = 10 + 10


-2y + 3y = 20


y = 20


On substituting y = 20 in eqn 2,


x = 2 × 20 + 10


x = 50


Hence present age of Nuri is 50 years and present age of Sonu is 20 years
