Question

Mrs Jain. Is 27 yere. Older then her daughter. Nilu. After 8yere she. Will be twice as old. As Nilu. Find their present ages

Answer 1

Let Nilu's age = x  Mrs. Jain is 27 years older than her daughter Nilu. Then Mrs. Jain's age is x+27  After 8 years, she (Mrs. Jain) will be... She (Mrs. Jain) will be (x+27)+8  ...twice as old as Nilu (will be in 8 years) Nilu will be x+8 in 8 years.  And twice Nilu's age then will be 2(x+8) So:  (x+27)+8 = 2(x+8)  Solve that for x.  That will be Nilu's age. Then add 27 to Nilu's age and that will be Mrs. Jain's age.
