Question

Shikha is twice as old as aneeta. five years ago, her age was three time aneeta age. find their present age​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Present age of Aneeta = x

Present age of Shikha = 2x

Five years ago,

Aneeta's age = x-5

Shikha's age = 2x-5

According to the question,

(x-5) = 3(2x-5)

x-5 = 6x-15

-5+15=6x-x

20=5x

x=20/5=4

present age of Aneeta= 4

present age of Shikha = 8
