if pramila's is 1/4 of its mother. after one year mothers age will be double of sarita, 8year ago sarita was 5 years old, then what is the present age of pramila

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the ages of pramila, her mother and Saritha be p, m and s

according to the given conditions,

p=m/4 i.e. m=4p------(1)

m+1 = 2(s+1) i.e m = 2s + 1------(2)

s-8=5 i.e. s = 13------(3)

from (2),(3). m = 2×13 + 1 = 27

from (1), 4p = m = 27 i.e. p = 27/4 = 6.75

present age of pramila is 6.75 years i.e 6 years 9months
