Question

After 24 years Shruthi will be 4 times as old as she is now, Find her present age​

Answer 1

Answer:

There are so many answers with equations.

Let’s find it in another way. We will find the hints in the question itself.

In 30 years: So her age should be more than 30

will become 4 times: So the future age should be multiple of 4

So the numbers will be 32,36,40,44 and so on…

Let’s calucalte the current age now:

32/4=8, after 30 years age will be 8+30=38 ≠ 32

36/4=9, after 30 years age will be 9+30=39 ≠ 36

40/4=10, after 30 years age will be 10+30=40 = 40 Bingo! you got it now.

So the current age is 10.

Answer 2

Answer:

Her present age is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let her present age be x

After 24 years she will be 4x + 24

x = 4x + 24

x = 24/3

x = 8

~ Present age is 8 years
