Question

ritika is 26 years younger than her mother.in 9 years,her mother will be twice as old as ritika.how old is each now?​

Answer 1

Answer:

let ritika's age= x

then, her mother's age = 26+ x

After 9 years

A.T.Q.

ritika's age will be = 9+x

her mother's age will be = 9+x+26 -(i)

but as given, her mother's age will be = 2(9+x) -(ii)

from equation i and ii

9+x+26= 2(9+x)

35+x= 18+2x

35-18=2x-x

17=x

Step-by-step explanation:

Therefore Ritika's present age is 17 years and ger mother's present age is 26+17= 43 years
