Question
After 25 years, Rama will be 5 times as old as he is now. Find his present age.
Solution
Let Rama's present age be x yr
Then, Rama's age after 25 yr = (x + 25) yr
It is given that after 25 yr, Rama's age will be 5 times his present age
Therefore, the equation is x + 25 = 5x
⇒ 25 = 5x – x ......[Transposing to RHS]
⇒ 25 = 4x
⇒ `25/4 = (4x)/4` ......[Dividing both sides by 4]
⇒ `6 1/4` = x
Hence, the present age of Rama is `6 1/4` yr.
