) Peter and Paul are two friends. The sum of their ages is
42 years. Peter is twice as old as Paul was when Peter was
as old as Paul is now. What is the present age of Peter?
Answer Posted / janardhana babu
PETER=X PAUL=42-X
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO AGES IS (2X-42)[IF X IS GREATER THAN
42-X]
"Peter is twice as old as Paul was when Peter was
as old as Paul is now"
THIS STATEMENT SAYS THAT PRESENT AGE OF PETER=(2*PAUL) WHEN
PETER AGE =PAUL AGE...AND DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO AGES
WILL ALWAYS BE SAME WEN 'N' YEARS AGO OR HENCE..
SO EQUATION WILL BE
X = {42-X-(2X-42)}
PETER PAUL AGE WHEN peter age = paul age
AGE
by solving this equation you will get X=24(peter age)
