Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Let Mohan's present age be x years.
Then, his age 5 years ago is (x - 5) and his age 9 years later is (x + 9).
According to the problem, the product of these two ages is 15:
(x - 5)(x + 9) = 15
Expand the left side:
x² + 9x - 5x - 45 = 15
x² + 4x - 45 = 15
Bring all terms to one side:
x² + 4x - 60 = 0
Solve the quadratic equation using factorization:
x² + 10x - 6x - 60 = 0
x(x + 10) - 6(x + 10) = 0
(x - 6)(x + 10) = 0
So, x = 6 or x = -10
Since age cannot be negative, x = 6.
Therefore, Mohan's present age is 6 years.
हिन्दी उत्तर:
माना मोहन की वर्तमान आयु x वर्ष है।
तब, 5 वर्ष पूर्व उसकी आयु (x - 5) वर्ष और 9 वर्ष बाद उसकी आयु (x + 9) वर्ष होगी।
प्रश्नानुसार, इन दोनों आयुओं का गुणनफल 15 है:
(x - 5)(x + 9) = 15
बाएँ पक्ष का विस्तार करने पर:
x² + 9x - 5x - 45 = 15
x² + 4x - 45 = 15
सभी पदों को एक तरफ लाने पर:
x² + 4x - 60 = 0
गुणनखंड विधि से द्विघात समीकरण को हल करें:
x² + 10x - 6x - 60 = 0
x(x + 10) - 6(x + 10) = 0
(x - 6)(x + 10) = 0
इसलिए, x = 6 या x = -10
चूँकि आयु ऋणात्मक नहीं हो सकती, इसलिए x = 6
इसलिए, मोहन की वर्तमान आयु 6 वर्ष है।
