Let "x"=Ravi's age at present
condition: x%2B15=4x, 15 yrs hence, his age will be 4 times the present
continuing,
4x-x=15
3x=15--------->cross%283%29x%2Fcross%283%29=cross%2815%295%2Fcross%283%29
highlight%28x=5yrs%29, present age
Check in 15 years:
5%2B15=20years = 4 times his present age, 4x5=20
Thank you,
Jojo
