Question

Sum of the present ages of Manisha ani Savita is 31. Manisha’s age 3 years ago was 4 times the age of Savita. Find their present ages?

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Manisha - 23 and Savita - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present ages of Manisha and Savita be m and s resp

So,

m + s = 31....(1)

And

m - 3 = 4(s - 3)

m - 3 = 4s - 12

m - 4s = -9....(2)

Solving (1) and (2) we get

5s = 40

s = 8

m = 23

Therefore, Manisha and Savita are 23 and 8 yrs old respectively.
