Answers
Let the present age of Anju = x years
Let the present age of Manju = y years
Given that the ages of Anju and Manju differ by 3 years
x - y = 3 ......(1)
Given that,
Anju's father Ramesh age is twice as old as Anju.
Present age of Ramesh = 2x
And
Manju is twice as Meena
Present age of Manju = 2 × age of Meena
Present age of Meena = present age of Manju/ 2
Present age of Meena = y/2
Also,
The ages of Ramesh and Meena is differ by 30 years
2x - y/2 = 30
4x - y/2 = 30
4x - y = 60 .........(2)
Hence, equations are
x - y = 3 .....(1)
4x - y = 60 ....(2)
From equation 1
x - y = 3
x = 3 + y
Put x = 3 + y in equation 2
4(3 + y) - y= 60
12 + 4y - y = 60
3y = 60 - 12
3y = 48
y = 48/3
y = 16
Put y value in equation 1
x - y = 3
x - 16 = 3
x = 3 + 16
x = 19
Therefore,
The age of Anju = 19 years
The age of Manju = 16 years
