Question

The present age of Preksha’s father is 52 years. His son is 20 years younger than his age, his daughter Preksha is 6 years younger than her brother and his wife is 2 years younger than him. Find the ratio of age of Preksha to that of her mother.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let age of Baichung's father age be x years

∴ Baichung's age and his grandfather's age ⇒(x−29) and (x+26) yrs respectively.

As per the question, Sum of ages of 3 people =135 years

∴x+x−29+x+26=135

3x−3=135

Transpose 3 to RHS, we will get,

3x=138

Divides both sides by 3, we will get

prrkshas father age =x=46 years

Baichung's age =x−29=46−29=17 years

Baichung's grandfather's age =x+26=46+26=72 years
