Answer 1

Let the present age of Sakshi be 'x' and age of Priyanka be 'y'.

GIVEN

Sakshi is 15 years older than Priyanka

>>>x = y + 15............................(1)

5 years ago.......

>>>(x - 5) = 3(y - 5)..................(2)

Substituting (1) in (2),

y + 15 - 5 = 3y - 15

y + 10 = 3y - 15

2y = 25

y = 12.5

x = 12.5 + 15 = 27.5

Therefore, the age of Sakshi is 27.5
