Question

In five years jagritta will be 2/3 as old as her aunt. three years ago she was half as old as her aunt how old are they now

Answer 1

Answer:

we can take aunt's age=x

3 years ago :-

aunt's age=x-3

jagritta's age= (x-3)÷2

now :-

$age \: of \: aunt = x \\ ge \: of \: jagritta = \frac{x - 3}{2} + 3 \\ \\ in \: 5 \: years \\ aunt = x + 5 \\ jgritta = \frac{x - 3}{2} + 3 + 5 \\ \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{x - 3}{2} + 8 \\ \\ ( \frac{x - 3}{2} + 8) = x + 5 \times \frac{2}{3} \\ \\ (\frac{x - 3 + 16}{2} ) = \frac{2x + 10}{3} \\ \\ \frac{x + 13}{2} = \frac{2x + 10}{3} \\ \\ 3x + 39 = 4x + 20 \\ 3x + 19 = 4x \\ 4x - 3x = 19 \\ x = 19$

aunt's age now =19

jagritta's age now=(x-3)÷2+3

=(19-3)÷2+3

=(16÷2)+3

=8+3=11
