Ten years ago, Mohan's age was 35 years less than twice his present age. Find Mohan's present age (in years)

Options

A. 15
B. 20
C. 25
D. 10

Explanation

To find Mohan's present age, we can follow these steps:

1. **Define the variable**: Let Mohan's present age be \( x \) years.

2. **Express the age 10 years ago**: Ten years ago, Mohan's age would be \( x - 10 \).

3. **Set up the equation**: According to the problem, ten years ago, Mohan's age was 35 years less than twice his present age. This can be expressed as:
\[ x - 10 = 2x - 35 \]

4. **Solve the equation**:
- First, simplify the equation:
\[ x - 10 = 2x - 35 \]
- Rearranging gives:
\[ -10 + 35 = 2x - x \]
\[ 25 = x \]

5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, Mohan's present age is \( x = 25 \) years.
