If Old is to young as ancient is to modern, the relationship highlights a contrast between two opposing states or stages in time. Just as "old" signifies a past or earlier stage compared to "young," "ancient" refers to something very old, contrasting with "modern," which denotes the current or contemporary period.
A tree can be both young and old at the same time. For instance, a tree may have young branches and leaves while its trunk and roots are many years old. Additionally, certain species of trees, like the bristlecone pine, can live for thousands of years, showcasing both youthful growth and ancient age simultaneously. This duality highlights the complexity of life and growth in nature.
It is not that old. But then it totally depends on one's perspective. If you feel that this age is old it is old for you. If you feel that it is young then it is young. So stay young stay happy.

The original question was too long to copy in. It was: "The sum of the ages of Old and Young is 48. Old is twice as old as young was when old was half as old as young will be when young is three times as old as old was when old was three times as old as young How old is old?" There is a rather strenuous algebraic solution.The answer is :Old is 30, Young is 18When Old was 18, Young was 6; when Old was 27 (1/2 of 54), Young was 15, and Old is twice that.If you change the sum to 32, then the ages become 20 and 12.When Old was 12, Young was 4; when Old was 18 (1/2 of 36), Young was 10.In each case, Old is always 5/3 as old as Young and 5/8 of the sum.

The opposite of old is young.
The antonym for old is young.
* To get a numerical answer, you would need to know the sum of their ages, which was given as 48 in the original form of this question, where Old is 30, Young is 18.When Old was 18, Young was 6; when Old was 27 (1/2 of 54), Young was 15, and Old is twice that.If you change the sum to 32, then the ages become 20 and 12.When Old was 12, Young was 4; when Old was 18 (1/2 of 36), Young was 10.In each case, Old is 5/3 as old as Young and 5/8 of the sum of their ages.---Old = 2 * Young when Old was 1/2 [3 * (3 * Young)](see the related link for one solution)
The Spanish word 'joven' means young. The opposite would be 'viejo' (vieja) meaning old, or similar words such as 'antiguo' (antique, ancient).Viejo is the most common way to say "old", the opposite of joven (young).
modern, young, new
Ancient means older than old!
The algebraic solution gives the age of Old as 5/3 Young, so there is no integer answer. The original form gave a sum of 48, which gives the integral solution Old = 30, Young = 18 Using 49, you get Old = 245/8 years (30.625) Young = 147/8 years (18.375)
