Question

Kavita is twice as old as sunita. Three years ago she was three times as old as sunita. How old is kavita now? a) 6 years b) 12 years c) 18 years d) 24 years

Answer 1

Let sunita’s age is x years so kavita’s age is 2x years. 3 years ago- sunita’s age=x-3 years also kavita’s age = 2x-3 years ATQ 2x-3 =3(x-3)

2x-3=3x-9   x=3 so kavita’s age =6 years so a option is correct. Hope it helps.
