Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Nitu's age= y

Neeta's age= 2y

Given,

   3(5 - 2y) = 5 - y

  = 15 - 6y = 5 - y

  = 15 - 5 = 6y - y

  = 6y - y = 15 - 5

     5y = 10

     y = 10/5

    y = 2

Therefore,

   Nitu's age = y = 2 yrs old

   Neeta's age = 2y = 2x2 = 4 yrs old
