Answer 2

Answer:

Let the present age of Dhamini be 'x' years,

                     Dhamini      Hema

Present age    x               x+24

6 years ago x−6              (x+24)−6=x+24−6=x+18

But as given that 6 years ago Hema was thrice as old as Dhamini

∴ x+18=3(x−6)

x+18=3x−18

x−3x=−18−18

−2x=−36

x=18

Therefore present age of Dhamini =x=18 years

Present age of Hema =x+24=18+24=42 years.
