Teaching CTET (Paper 1 & Paper 2) Mock Test Series 2025 Quantitative Aptitude Algebra Linear Equation in 1 Variable
Arun is three years older than Varun. Eight years ago, \(\frac{1}{6}\)th of Arun's age exceeded \(\frac{2}{5}\)th of Varun's age by 6 years. If the present age of Varun is x years, then the value of x can be determined by
solving the equation:
1
\(\rm \frac{3}{5}(x+5)-\frac{5}{6}(x-8)=6 \)
2
\(\rm \frac{3}{5}(x+3)-\frac{5}{6}(x-8)=6 \)
3
\(\frac{1}{6}\times (x - 5) - \frac{2}{5}\times (x - 8) =6\)
4
\(\rm \frac{5}{6}(x-8)-\frac{3}{5}(x-5)=6 \)
