Question

10 years ago , anitha mother was 4 times older than her daughter , after 10 years , the mother will be twice of the daughter . the present age of anitha is ?

Answer 1

Define their age 10 years ago x:

Let the Anitha's age be x

Mother's age is 4x

Express their present age in x:

Anitha = x + 10

Mother = 4x + 10

Express their age 10 years later in x:

Anitha = x + 10 + 10 = x + 20

Mother = 4x + 10 + 10 = 4x + 20

After 10 years, the mother will be twice the age of Anitha:

4x + 20 = 2(x + 20)

4x + 20 = 2x + 40

2x = 20

x = 10

Find Anitha's age:

Anitha = x + 10 = 10 + 10 = 20 years old

Answer: Anitha is 20 years old
