Question

Pushpa is twice as old as rita was 2 years ago. if difference between their ages is 2 years, how old is pushpa today

Answer 1

Let,

Pushpa's age= x

Rita's age= y

Then, 2 years ago,

Rita's age= y-2

At present,

Pushpa's age= 2(y-2)

Thus, x=2(y-2) ....(i)

Also, x-y=2

=>x=y+2 ....(ii)

Comparing (i) & (ii),

2(y-2)=y+2

=>2y-4=y+2

=>2y-y=4+2

=>y=6

Thus, x=y+2=6+2=8 => x=8

Pushpa is 8 years old.

ᴍ - 2 = 2 ( ᴍ - 4 )

=> ᴍ - 2 = 2ᴍ - 8

=> 2ᴍ - ᴍ = 8 - 2
