Question

Ravi is now 6 years older than Neeta. Three years ago, he was twice as old as she was then. Find their present ages. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Neeta = 9 yrs

Ravi = 15 yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Neeta's present age be x

Let Ravi's present age be x+6

3 years ago Neeta was x-3 and Ravi was (x+6)-3

Given. 3 years ago Ravi was twice of Neeta's age

(x+6)-3 = 2(x-3)

x+3 = 2x-6

x-2x = -6-3

-x = -9

x = 9

Therefore, Neeta's present age is 9 yrs while Ravi is 15 yrs.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Neeta is n years old then Ravi is n+6 years old.

3 years ago, Neeta was n-3 years and Ravi was n+3 years old.

According to the question,

n+3 = 2(n-3)

n+3 = 2n-6

n = 9

Neeta is 9 years old and Ravi is 15 years old.
