Answer 2

Correct Question:

Mrs. Jain is 27 years older than her daughter nilu. After 8 years she will be twice as old as nilu. Find their present ages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Nilu be x years.

★Given that, Mrs. Jain is 27 years older than her daughter Nilu.

Then,

• Present age of Mrs. Jain = (x+27) years.

After 8 years,

• Age of Nilu = (x+8) years
• Age of Mrs. Jain = (x+27+8) = (x+35) years

According to the question,

2(x+8) = (x+35)

→ 2x+16 = x+35

→ 2x-x = 35-16

→ x = 19

Then,

★ Present age of Nilu = 19 years

★ Present age of Mrs. Jain = (19+27) = 46 years.

Therefore, the present age of Nilu is 19 years and Present age of Mrs. Jain is 46 years.
