Question

8. Six years ago Anu was 'P' times as old as
Penny was. If Anu is now 17 years old,
how old is Penny now in terms of 'P'?
(a) 11/P+6
(b) P/11+6
(c) 17 - P/6​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. before six years, anu's age = 17-6 = 11
2. let x be the age of penny now. before six years, penny was x-6 years old.
3. penny's age before six years( in terms of p) = 11/p
4. therefore, x-6 = 11/p or x=11/p +6

Answer 2

Answer :-

Its Given that the age of Anu 6 years ago was 'P'

Present age of Anu is 17.

Let the age of penny be x and any be y years.

According to the given condition we get,

(y-6)= p(x-6)

From 17 years now there age will be

17 - 6=p(x - 6)

11 = p(x-6)

∴11/P + 6

Therefore, Option (A) is your answer.
