Jal to 47
Deepika's age. Find the ages of Deepika and Vikas.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

10 year and 7 year

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Deepika be x years. Age of Vikas should be x + 3.

6 years ago,

Age of Vikas = (x + 3) - 6 = x - 3

Age of Deepika = x - 6

According to the question: Vikas's age was four times of Deepika's age.

⇒ x - 3 = 4(x - 6)

⇒ x - 3 = 4x - 24

⇒ 24 - 3 = 4x - x

⇒ 21 = 3x

⇒ 21/3 = x    ⇒7 = x

Present age of Deepika is 7 and that of VIkas is 7 + 3 = 10 year

Answer 2

Required answer:-

Correct question:

• Vikas is three years older than Deepika. Six years ago, Vikas's age was four times to

Deepika's age. Find the ages of Deepika and Vikas.

Solution:

Given,

• Vikas is three years older than Deepika.

To find:

• Ages of Deepika and Vikas.

Let,

• Present age of Deepika = x

( According to the question Vikas is three years older than Deepika)

So,

• Vikas age = x + 3

Step by step explaination:

According to the question six years ago age would be:

Age of Vikas = (x + 3) - 6 = x - 3

Age of Deepika = x - 6

According to the question Vikas's age was four times to Deepika's age:

So,

x - 3 = 4(x - 6)

x - 3 = 4x - 24

x - 4x = -24 + 3

- 3x = -21

x = 7

Value of x is 7 .

So,

Present age of Deepika = 7 years

Present age of Vikas = 7 + 3 = 10 years
