Amulya's present age is x years. 5 years ago, her age was _____ years

• A. $(5-x)$
• B. $(5+x)$
• C. $(x-5)$
• D. $(5÷x)$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $(x-5)$

Option (c).

Given, Amulya's present age = $x$ years

To get her age $5$ years back, $5$ should be subtracted from her present age.

$\therefore$ Amulya's age $5$ years back = $(x-5)$ years
