Answer:

Present age of Seeta = 13 years
Present age of Geeta = 16 years

Explanation:

Given information,

The sum of the ages of Seeta and Geeta is 29 years. Seeta is three years younger than Geeta. Find their present ages.

Sum of ages of Seeta and Geeta = 29 years
Seeta is younger than Geeta by = 3 years

Let,

Present age of Geeta = y years
As it is stated in question that Seeta is three years younger than Geeta. So, Present age of Seeta = (y - 3) years

According to the Question,

Sum of ages of Seeta and Geeta = 29 years

Therefore,

➻ y + (y - 3) = 29

➻ y + y - 3 = 29

➻ 2y - 3 = 29

➻ 2y = 29 + 3

➻ 2y = 32

➻ y = 32/2

➻ y = 16

Henceforth, present age of Geeta is 16 years.

Now,

➻ Present age of Seeta = (y - 3) years

Putting value of y,

➻ Present age of Seeta = (16 - 3) years

➻ Present age of Seeta = (13) years

➻ Present age of Seeta = 13 years

Henceforth, present age of Seeta is 13 years.

Verification,

Sum of ages of Seeta and Geeta = 29 years

Therefore,

➻ y + (y - 3) = 29

Putting value of y,

➻ 16 + (16 - 3) = 29

➻ 16 + (13) = 29

➻ 16 + 13 = 29

➻ 29 = 29

➻ LHS = RHS

Hence, Verified ✔
