Question

Sudesh is twice as old as Seema. If six years is subtracted from Seema's age and four
years are added to Sudesh's age, Sudesh will be four times Seema's age. How old were
they three years ago?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let seema's age be 'x' years

and sudesh's age be 'y' years

⇒y=2x

⇒4(x−6)=(y+4)

⇒4(x−6)=2(2x+4)

⇒4x−2x=2x+4

⇒2x=28

Rightarrowx=14years

y=2x=28years

3 years ago seema was 11 years
