Question

one year ago. Promila was four times as old as her daughter Sakshi, Six years hence, promila's age will exceed her daughter's age by 9 years. The ratio of the present age of promila and her daughter is? ​

Answer 1

The ratio of present age of promila and her daughter is 13:4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Let the present age of her daughter be 'x+1'.

Let the present age of promila be '4x+1'

After 6 years,

Age of her daughter = x+6+1 = x+7

Age of promila = 4x+1+6 = 4x+7

According to question, we get that

$(4x+7)-(x+7)=9\\\\4x+7-x-7=9\\\\\3x=9\\\\x=\dfrac{9}{3}\\\\x=3$

Age of promila = $4(3)+1=12+1=13$

Age of her daughter = $x+1=3+1=4$

Hence, the ratio of present age of promila and her daughter is 13:4.

Answer 2

Let Nikitha's age 1 year ago = x

Then Jaya's age 1 year ago = 4x

After 6 years their ages are = (4x + 7), ( x + 7)

So,

(4x + 7) - (x + 7) = 9

=> 4x + 7 - x - 7 = 9

=> 3x = 9

=> x = 3

Present age of Jaya = (12+1) years = 13 years

Present age of Nikitha = (3+1) years = 4 years

Ratio of their ages = 13 : 4
