A+10=2(B-10) 
 

 
A-B=9 i.e. A=B+9, 
 
now, 
putting it in earlier eqn. 
 
B+19=2B-20 
 
so B=39, 
 
after 10 years B will be 39+10=49. 
 
Ans =49

There will be two anwers as the difference is given. It's not given specifically that  
A-B=9 or B-A=9 
 
With A-B=9 : 
eqns will be: 2B-A=30 
and A-B=9 
it will give B=39 
hence Ans=39+10=49 
 
With B-A=9 : 
 
eqns will be: 2B-A=30 
and B-A=9 
hence B=21 
hence Ans=21+10=31

let the age of b=x 
let the age of a = x-9 
then the equation is  
(x-9)=x 
after 10 years in a and before ten years in b 
new equation will be 
(x-9+10)=2(x-10) 
then  
the value of x =21 years 
and after 10 years will be 31 years

let present age of a & b is 'A','B' respectively.after 10 yrs age of 'a' is A+10;before 10 yrs age of b is B-10.

given that A+10=2*(B-10)

and A-B=9

by solving above two we get B=39;

so after 10 yrs the age of b is 49

Let the age of A now is X.

age of B=X-9.

Aft 10 yrs As age =x+10.

B4 10 yrs Bs age =x-19.

Given, Xx+10=2X-38

This gives X=48

 

As age 48 now. Bs age 39 now.

After 10 yrs B's age will be 49.

Let present age be A= x yr, B = y yr. Since A is Twice theage of B at some point A is older than Bx-y = 9x+10 = 2 (y-10)y = 39 present age. After 10 yr B's age = 49

We get two values for B.We are given only the difference between A & B,But not who is older.So, the difference can be (A-B) or (B-A).Hence, we get B values as 39 & 21 respectively. NOw, just go back to the question and verify to check the required conditions.

The answer, i.e age of B after 10 years is 49.

let the current age of A and B is  x and y.


so according to question


  after 10n yrs the age of A becomes twice the age of B before 10 years so---

        X+10=2(Y-10)

==> X-2Y=-30   Eqn-1

according to second condition the difference b/w there age is---9 yrs



X-Y=9  Eqn-2



now solving equation 1 and equation 2 the result is.....



age of A is 48 and of B is 39

A+10=2(B-10)

& A-B=9

so    A-2B=-30
       A-B=9       

         -B=-39

       so B=39+10
            B=49

According to given statement A+10=2(B-10) and also given that DIFFERENCE IS 9 then A-B=9 OR B-A=9 then problem is as follows substitute in the above A=B+9 then

B+19=2B-20 then

B=39

OR

If we consider

B-A=9 then

B=A+9 then

B+1=2B-20 then

B=21

let A's and B's present age be a,b years respectively.

then a-b=9--->1

a+10=2(b-10) ie. a-2b=-30--->2

1-2=>

 b=39;

so the age of B after 10 years will be 49

A+10=2(B-10)

A-B=9
so substituting A-B=9 in A-2B=-30
we get -B=-39
so , after 10 yrs B=39+10=49

Letpresent ages be'a' and 'b'.
after 10 yrs A's age will be a+10
and that of B will be b+10

age of B before 10 yrs = b-10

so given condition is
a+10=2(b-10)

second condition is
a-b=9

solving these two equations we get
b=39

so after 10 yrs B's age will be 39+10=49
