Let Ravi’s present age be x years. Fifteen years later, Ravi’s age = 4 × His present age x + 15 = 4x On transposing x to R.H.S, we obtain 15 = 4x − x 15 = 3x On dividing both sides by 3, we obtain 5 = x Hence, Ravi’s present age = 5 years

Let Ravi’s present age be x years.

Fifteen years later, Ravi’s age = 4 × His present age

x + 15 = 4x

On transposing x to R.H.S, we obtain

15 = 4xx

15 = 3x

On dividing both sides by 3, we obtain

5 = x

Hence, Ravi’s present age = 5 years
