Present age (In years) of Bharti

EVALUATION

Here it is given that 5 years ago, Bharti's mother was 3 times as old as Bharti.

Let 5 years ago age of Bharati and age of Bharti's mother was x years and 3x years respectively

So present age of Bharati and present age of Bharti's mother is ( x + 5 ) years and ( 3x +5 ) years respectively

After 6 years age of Bharati and age of Bharti's mother will be ( x + 11 ) years and ( 3x + 11 ) years respectively

Now it is given that After 6 years she will be twice as old as Bharti Present age of Bharti

So by the given condition

3x + 11 = 2( x + 11 )

$\implies \sf{3x + 11 = 2x + 22}$

$\implies \sf{3x - 2x = 22 - 11}$

$\implies \sf{x = 11}$

Hence present age of Bharati = 11 + 5 = 16 years

FINAL ANSWER

Present age of Bharati = 16 years
