Question

seema's little sisteris now 5 years old .if her age is 2 years more than1/4of seema's age,how old is seema

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let age of Seema = x

Then, age of Sudesh = 2x

When 6 years are subtracted from Seema's age, her age is = x-6

Four years are added to Sudesh's age = 2x+4

Now, Sudesh will be 4 times Seema's age.

Thus, 2x+4 = 4(x-6)

2x+4 = 4x-24

4x-2x = 24+4

2x = 28

x = 14

Present age of Seema = 14

Age of Seema 3 years ago = 12

Present age of Sudesh = 28

Age of Sudesh 3 years ago = 25
