anita is younger than rajan mahima deepti and none of these?
if mahima is 16 years old then what is the age of lata?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let Mahima’s age = x.

Then Anita’s age = 2x,

Rajan’sage =x/2;

Deepti’s age = 4x;

Lata’s age =x/4.

So, the descending order of ages is :Deepti> Anita >Mahima>Rajan>Lata.

1. Lata is the youngest

Deepti is the eldest.

Clearly, no two persons in the group have the same age.

Answer 2

Given,

Anita, Mahima, Rajan, Lata, and Deepti are five cousins. Anita is twice as old as Mahima. Rajan is half the age of Mahima. Anita is half the age of Deepti and Rajan is twice the age of Lata.

To find,

a) who is the youngest?

b) who is the eldest?

c) which two persons have the same age?

d) if Mahima is 16 years old then what is the age of lata?

Solution,

We can simply solve this mathematical problem using the following process:

Let us assume that the age of Mahima is x years.

Now, according to the question;

Age of Deepti = 4x years

Age of Anita = 2x years

Age of Mahima = x years

Age of Rajan = x/2 years

Age of Lata = x/4 years

Now, according to the option-d of the question;

Age of Mahima = x years = 16 years

=> Age of Lata = x/4 years = 16/4 years = 4 years

Hence, Lata is the youngest and Deepti is the oldest among all. No two persons among them have the same age. And, Lata is aged 4 years.
