Question

*Sum of the present ages of Shruti and Kavita is 31. Shruti’s age 3 years ago was 4 times the age of Kavita. Find their present ages.*
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Shruti =x & Kavita =y

x+y=31−(i)

x−3=4(y−3)−(ii)

⇒x−3=4y−12

⇒x=4y−9

Putting in (i) , we get

5y−9=31

⇒5y=40⇒y=8

⇒x=31−8⇒x=23

⇒ Present age of Shruti=23years

⇒ Present age of Kavita=8 years
