Question

Preeti is now one - third the age of her father . In 14 years , shr will be one - half the age of her father . What are the present ages of them ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let father's age be x

Let prethi's age be y

Given:

y = ⅓x

In 14 years

Father's age will be x+14

Preeti's age will be y+14

but according to the question

Preeti's age is ½ of x+14 (father's age)

X = 3y. eqn (1)

Y+14 = (x+14)÷2

2y+28 = x + 14

x-2y-14=0 eqn (2)

Substituting for x in eqn (ii)

3y-2y-14=0

y = 14

Substituting for y in eqn 1

x = 3×14

x=42

Answer:

Father's age = 42 years

Preeti's age. = 14 years
