Answer 1

Answer:

Let present age of Sarah be S and that of Emily be E. Then it is given

S=4×E equation 1

After 16 years Sarah will be S+16 and Emily will be E+16. Again it is given

(S+16)=2×(E+16)

S=2E+16 equation 2

Put the values of S from equation 1 in equation 2

4E=2E+16

2E=16

E=16/2=8

Put this value of E in equation 1, you will get

S=4×8=32
