Answer 2

Answer:

The present age of Hina is 16 years

The present age of Hina’s father is 48 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

The present age of Hina = x

The present age of Hina’s father = 3x

After 16 years,

The age of Hina = x + 16

The age of Hina’s father = 3x + 16

Also,

Hina’s father will be twice as old as Hina

So,

⇒ 3x + 16 = 2 (x + 16)

⇒ 3x + 16 = 2x + 32

⇒ 3x - 2x = 32 - 16

⇒ 1x = 16

⇒ x = 16

★ Value of 3x:

⇒ 3 (16)

⇒ 3 × 16

⇒ 48

Therefore,

• The present age of Hina is 16 years

• The present age of Hina’s father is 48 years
