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।
