Answer 2

So, Lakshmi’s Age is 15 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Laxmi’s age to be = y years old

From the question it is given that,

Lakshmi’s father is 4 years older than three times of her age

= 3 × Laxmi’s age + 4 = Age of Lakshmi’s father

= (3 × y) + 4 = 49

= 3y + 4 = 49

By Transposing 4 from LHS to RHS it becomes -4

= 3y = 49 - 4

= 3y = 45

Divide both the side by 3

= 3y/3 = 45/3

= y = 15

So, Lakshmi’s Age is 15 years.
