Question

Shikha’s age is 3 times the age of her daughter. If sum of their ages is 44 years, find their ages. EXPLAIN

Answer 1

Answer:

• Daughter's age = 11 Years
• Shikha's age = 33 Years

Explanation

Let the age of the daughter be x

Then, Shikha's age be 3x

• Sum of their ages = 44 Years

According to Question,

Sum of their ages is 44 then we have to add both ages to find required values,

$\colon\implies{\tt{ x + 3x = 44 }} \\ \\ \\ \colon\implies{\tt{ \cancel{4} x = \cancel{44} }} \\ \\ \\ \colon\implies{\tt{ x = 11 }}$

Putting value of x in their ages;

$\dag {\boxed{\tt\green{ Daughter's \ age = x = 11 \ Years }}}$

$\dag {\boxed{\tt\red{ Shikha's \ age = 3x = 33 \ Years }}}$

Hence,

• Daughter's Age = 11 Years
• Shikha's age = 33 Years
