Answer 1

Given: Sandhya's present age is four times her daughters present age After 16 years she will be twice the age of her daughter's age.

To find: What is the present age of Sandhya 's daughter?​

Solution:

• Let the age of her daughter be x, then the age of sandhya will be 4x.

• After 16 years she will be twice the age of her daughter's age, so:

              4x + 16 = 2(x + 16)

              4x + 16 = 2x + 32

              2x = 16

              x = 8

• So the age of her daughter is x = 8 years.

Answer:

             So the present age of Sandhya 's daughter is 8 years.
