Question
Easy
Arun is three years older than Varun. Eight years ago, $\frac{5}{6}$ th of Arun's age exceeded $\frac{3}{5}$ th of Varun's age by 6 years. If the present age of Varun is x years, then the value of x can be determined by solving the equation :
1
$\frac{5}{6}(x-5)-\frac{3}{5}(x – 8)$ = 6
2
$\frac{5}{6}(x-8)-\frac{3}{5}(x - 5)$ = 6
3
$\frac{3}{5}(x + 5)-\frac{5}{6}(x - 8)$ = 6
4
$\frac{3}{5}(x + 3)-\frac{5}{6}(x - 8)$ = 6
