Answer 2

Let present age of Lakshmi be "x" years.

Lakshmi's father is 49 years old.

Age of father = 49 years.

Now,

He (father) is 4 years older than three times laxmi's age.

According to question

⇒ 3x + 4 = 49 ___ (eq 1)

⇒ 3x = 49 - 4

⇒ 3x = 45

⇒ x = 45/3

⇒ x = 15

•°• Age of Lakshmi is 15 years.

Verification :-

From above calculations x = 15

Substitute value of x in (eq 1)

⇒ 3(15) + 4 = 49

⇒ 45 + 4 = 49

⇒ 49 = 49
