Question

Maya is three times as old as Liya. After 5 years , she will be twice as old as Liya. Find the present

and Liya​

Answer 1

Answer:

5 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Liya be x.

Then, present age of Maya will be 3x.

After 5 years,

Age of Liya = x+5

And age of Maya = 3x+5

A/Q,

3x+5 = 2(x+5)

=> 3x+5 = 2x+10

=> 3x-2x = 10-5

=> x = 5.

Therefore, present age of Liya is 5 years.
