Question

GEETA IS THREE YEARS ELDER THAN SITA, BUT REETA IS FIVE YEARS ELDER THAN GEETA. IF THE SUM OF THEIR AGES IS 50 YEARS, FIND THE AGE OF EACH OF THEM.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let Sita's age be x years

Geeta's age = x + 3

Rita's age = (x+3) + 5 = x + 8

Given:- x + (x+3) + (x + 8) = 50

x + x + 3 +x + 8 = 50

3x + 11 =50

3x = 50 - 11

3x = 39

x= 13

Therefore,

Sita's age is 13 years

Geeta's age is 13 + 3 = 16 years

Rita's age is 13 + 8 = 21 years
