Answer 1

Pls mark as brainliest answer

Answer 2

Answer:

kajal = 3

her cousin = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

let age of Kajal be x

∴ age of her cousin = x +16

after 5 years

Kajal's age = x+5

her cousin's age = x+5+16 = x +21

ratio of their ages = 1:3

ATQ:-

x+5/x+21 = 1/3           (cross multiply )

3×(x+5)=1×(x+21)

3x+15 = x+21

3x-x=21-15

2x=6

x=6/2

x=3
