Question

geeta is three years elder than sita but reta is five years elder than geeta. if the sum of their ages is 50 years .find the age of each them​

Answer 1

Age of Sita=x

Age of Geeta=x+3

Age of Reta=x+3+5=x+8

The sum of their ages=50

Therefore the equation:

x+x+3+x+8=50

=>3x=39

=>x=13

Therefore,

Sita's age=13

Geeta's age=16

Reta's age=21

Answer 2

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 = 13 years

Geeta's age = 13 + 3 = 16 years

Rita's age = 13 + 8 = 21 years
