Answer 1

Given

Neeta is twice as old as Nitu. Five years ago her age was 3 times Nitu's age.

To find

Find their present ages

Solution

✱ Let the present ages of Nitu be x and Neeta be 2x

✞ According to the given condition

• After 5 years ago
• Neeta age = 2x - 5
• Nitu age = x - 5

➠ 3(x - 5) = 2x - 5

➠ 3x - 15 = 2x - 5

➠ 3x - 2x = 15 - 5

∴ x = 10

${\underline{\boxed{\bf{Present\:age\:of\:Nitu=x=10yrs}}}}$

${\underline{\boxed{\bf{Present\:age\:of\:Neeta= 2x=20yrs}}}}$
