If seema were younger by 5 years than what she really is then the square of her age would have been 11 more than 5 times her actual age. What is her age now?

Seema's age = a
(a - 5)² = 11 + 5a
a² - 10a + 25 = 11 + 5a
a² - 15a + 14 = 0
a² - 14a - a + 14 = 0
a( a - 14) - 1( a - 14)
(a - 1) (a - 14)
a = 1 or 14
But one is rejected because five year before cannot work with one. So
Seema's actual age is 14
