Question

Sunita is twice as old as Ashima. Four years from now, Sunita will be four times as old as
Ashima was six years ago. Find the sum of their present ages.

A)46
B)45
C)44
D)42​

Answer 1

Answer:

D) 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Ashima be x.

Given, Sunita 's age = 2x

i.e. y = 2x

ATQ,

2x + 4 = 4( x-6)

2x + 4 = 4x - 24

4 + 24 = 4x - 2x

28 = 2x

14 = x

Ashima's present age = 14 years

Sunita's present age = 28 years

Sum of their ages = 14 + 28 = 42
