Answer 1

natasha is of 8 years

Answer 2

Given:

Natasha's age 2 years ago=10 years

To find:

The current age of Sia

Solution:

The current age of Sia is 36 years.

We can find the age by taking the given steps-

Let us assume that the present age of Natasha is X and the present age of Sia is Y.

We are given that Sia is thrice as old as Natasha, presently.

So, Y=3×X

Y=3X

Now, we know that 2 years ago, Natasha's age was 10 years.

So, Natasha's age two years ago=Present age of Natasha-2

Natasha's age two years ago=X-2

X-2=10

X=10+2

X=12 years

Natasha's present age, X= 12 years

We will substitute the value of X to determine Sia's present age.

Sia's present age=3X=3×12

=36 years

Therefore, the current age of Sia is 36 years.
