The current age of Savan is four times the age of Akshan. 10 years from now, Savan’s age will be twice the age of Akshan. What is Savan’s current age?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 20

Understanding Application

Suppose

Current age of Akshan = A

Current age of Savan = 4A

Age of Akshan after 10 years = A + 10

Age of Savan after 10 years = 4A + 10

As given in question,

4A + 10 = 2(A+ 10)

4A + 10 = 2A + 20

P = 5 and 4A = 20

Hence age of Savan is 20 years.
