Question

kaveri is now half of her father's age. 20 years ago the age of kaveri's father was 6 times kaveri's age. Find the present age of kaveri.​

Answer 1

father age = x years

Kaveri age =x/2 years

20 years ago,

father age=(x-20)

Kaveri age=(x/2-20)

20 years ago age of her father was 6 times Kaveri's age

x-20=6(x/2-20)

x-20=6*x/2- 6*20

x-20=3x-120

120-20=3x-x

100=2x

2x=100

x=100/2

x=50

father age=x=50 years

Kaveri's age =x/2=50/2=25 years

Kaveri is 25 years old and her father is 50

Answer 2

Plz mark as brainliest!!!

let at present

father age = x years

Kaveri age =x/2 years

20 years ago,

father age=(x-20)

Kaveri age=(x/2-20)

given

20 years ago age of father was 6 times of daughter age

x-20=6(x/2-20)

x-20=6*x/2- 6*20

x-20=3x-120

120-20=3x-x

100=2x

2x=100

x=100/2

x=50

therefore,

at present

father age=x=50 years

Kaveri age =x/2=50/2=25 years
