Let their ages be 2x and 3x

Therefore,

2x+3x=60

5x=60

x=60/5

=12

Therefore,

age of kala=24

age of mala=36

Answer 2

Answer:

kala' s age=24 ,mala's age=36

Explanation:

Let the age of Kala and Mala be 2x and 3x respectively.

Then according to question,

2x+3x=60(sum of there ages is 60)

5x=60

Therefore, dividing by 5 on both sides,we get,

x=12

therefore,Kala's age=2*12 and mala's age= 3*12

Kala's age=24 and Mala's age=36
