Question

5 years ago Geeta's age was 3 times of Kamla's age. After 10 years Geeta's age will be 2 times of Kamla's age. Find their present ages.

Answer 1

Let kamla present age be x
Geeta age = 3x
After 5 years
Kamla age = x + 5
Geeta age = 3x + 5
After 10 years
Kamla age = x + 5 + 10 = x + 15
Geeta age = 3x + 5 + 10 = 3x + 15
According to the question
3x+15 = 2(x+15)
3x+15 = 2x+30
3x-2x = 30-15
X = 15. (kamla age)
Geeta age = 3x =3 ×15 = 45
