I am a graduate of mass communication, I have no regret for studying the course. It is lucrative and okay.

Semaj77:
What are you on about

If someone says you're twice as old as you were 6 years ago you'll be 12 now , if they say you're twice as old as you were 7 years ago then you're 14 now. Simple logic

Semaj77:
Are you really a 300L B.Pharm student

VeryWickedGoat:
You are a toothless bulldog

godoluwa:
This is a very simple simultaneous equation

kals4luv990:

Thief

ruggedtimi:
Bako is 11 years now

HarunaWest:
Oga calm down. Just say you can't process math quickly. It took me less than 30 sec to figure out all the answers.

6ixT8:
Simultaneous equation that year.

Ayemileto:
Attached is the workings.

You use simultaneous equation to get Bakos age 5 years ago, and his age now.

The other questions are simply addition and subtraction.

Leoleo1:
She's coming back with bigger problems soon. Brace up

Vincyman:
As men of honour, I no join hand with you for this matter

Alajiki:
1. Bako is 10 years old now
2. When Bako was 5 years old, his mother was 30 years old
3. Bako will be 25 when his mother is 50
4. Bako's mother was 25 when he was born
5. Age difference as at now is 25 years

olusma23:
You nailed the explanation. But this is about reasoning but as OP requested for explanation which I'm sure the kid self won't be able to comprehend �

Dangrace01:
Guy how can you be saying this. This type of maths is required for programmers. Its highly needed

Manofsteel2013:
You are looking for someone to disgrace

Donchieli:
Bros how dz ur explanation take bring to bearing the factorial difference of twice the number /figure

So if you are 13 and they say someone is twice your age, the person would be 18
Seriously

You dey vex? Good! You don see am.

As God helped me, I do not engage in any thing that does not make good sense and I remember thinking about this kind of questions even years after I left secondary school and yet I never saw its good sense nor anyone use it.

So, i tell my children not to bother themselves when they see this kind of rubbish question.

As good as education is, it is also the same vehicle used to deceive and weaken people for the full deception which is to come in the future, SINCE THEY HAVE TAUGHT PEOPLE TO LOSE THEIR NATURAL FOCUS ON THINGS THEY WOULD NORMALLY AND NATURALLY HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT THAT WOULD HAVE HELPED THEM TO ACQUIRE THE GOOD THINGS THEY PLAN ON GETTING THROUGH FOCUS AND GOOD THINKING!

Dtruthspeaker:
The lies and deceits planted in education so that people become stupid and lose focus on what they are supposed to be doing.

First what is my business with Bako and his mother's age? I don't have any business with them.

Of what use and relevance and profit is this? Even American embassy do not calculate this to know your age.

The simple thing is to ask, what is your age? And what is your mother's age. And birth certificates and school certificates and other things will take of all this none sense..

No! Not none sense but a wicked deception meant to make you follow the distraction in sleight of hand.

As every grown up has seen, no one has ever used this shit, not even detectives.

And maths had plenty of these and they are meant to keep us busy doing a nullity, which is why people have come to say education is a scam.

I say the education they give is preparing us to be scammed. It is a case of using the Truth as the vehicle for delivering lies.
