Question

The ages of Seeta and Geeta are in the ratio 5:2. After 3 years, Seeta will be twice as old as Geeta. Find their present ages.​

Answer 1

AnSwEr -:

• Seeta’s age = 15 years

• Geeta’s age = 6 years

______________________________

Step by step explanation-:


Let the age of Seeta and Geeta be 5x

and 2x years.


After 3 years -:

Seeta’s age = (5x + 3)

Geeta’s age = (2x + 3)

According to question-:

5x + 3 = (2x + 3) 2

5x + 3 = 4x + 6

5x - 4x = 6 - 4

x = 3

• Seeta’s age = 5x

5 x 3

= 15 years

• Geeta’s age = 2x

2 x 3

=6 years
