Answer 2

$\large{\underline{\sf{\red{Required\:Answer:}}}}$

• Seeta's age = 15 years

• Geeta's age = 6 years.

Given:-

• The ages of Seeta and Geeta are in the ratio 5:2.

• After 3 years, Seeta will be twice as old as Geeta.

To Find:-

• Their present ages.

Solution:-

• Let the age of Sita and Gita be 5x years and 2x years.

After 3 years,

• Seeta's age = (5x + 3) years.

• Geeta's age = (2x + 3) years.

According to the Question :-

$\pink{\implies\:\:}$ $\rm{5x+3=(2x+3)2 }$

$\pink{\implies\:\:}$ $\rm{5x+3=4x+6 }$

$\pink{\implies\:\:}$ $\rm{5x-4x=6-3 }$

$\pink{\implies\:\:}$ $\rm{x=3 }$

$\purple{\star\:\:}$ Seeta's age = 5x years.

$\green{\implies\:\:}$ $\rm{5\times 3 }$

$\green{\implies\:\:}$ $\rm{15\: years}$

$\purple{\star\:\:}$ Geeta's age = 2x years.

$\orange{\implies\:\:}$ $\rm{2\times 3}$

$\orange{\implies\:\:}$ $\rm{6\: years}$
