Question

$3$ years ago, the age of a boy was $y$ years. His age $2$ years ago was $(y–2)$years State whether the statement is true (T) or false (F).

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

$3$ years ago, age of boy$=y$ years
Then, the present age of boy$=(y+3)$years
$\therefore 2$ years ago, the age of boy$=y+3-2$

So, the age of the boy after $2$ years ago is $(y+1)$ years ago not $(y–2)$ years.

Hence, the answer is False.
