Frank is 15 years younger then John. In 5 years John will be
twice as old as Frank. How old will Frank be in four years?
Answer Posted / sri ram
let F be x and J be x+15
in 5yrs,
x+5=2(x+15+5)
x+5=2x+40
x+35=0
x=35 [. .
[ . x is assumed as age ,it can be taken as +ve]
therefore frank age is 35 and john age is 50
therefore in 4yrs frank can be 39yrs younger than john
NOTE:-
Given question is wrong because as stated first tht frank
is 15yrs younger than john , so in 4yrs he will be younger
than john not older
