Question

The present age of Sita's father is 3 times the present age of Sita. After 6 years, sum of their ages will be 68. Find their present ages. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let present age of Sita is x.

Then the present age of Sita's father is 3 times of Sita.

So, present age of Sita's father is 3x.

After 6 years, age of Sita will be (x+6) & age of Sita's father will be (3x+6),

According to the question, after six years the sum of their ages will be 69 yrs.

So,(x+6) + (3x+6) = 69

4x + 12 = 69

4x = 69 - 12 = 57

x = 57/4 = 14 years and 3 months = age of Sita

3x = 3 x 57/4 = 42 years and 9 months = age of Sita's father

42 years and 9 months = age of Sita's father

Answer 2

$\huge{\sf{\orange{Answer}}}$

Let the age of Sita be x

And her father's age be 3x

After 6 years

Sita's age will be x+6

Her father's age will be 3x+6

According to the question.

After 6 years, sum of their ages will be 68.

So,

$x + 6 + 3x + 6 = 68$

$4x + 12 = 68$

$4x = 68 - 12$

$4x = 56$

$x = \frac{56}{4}$

(14×4=56)

$x = 14$

•°• Sita's present age = x = 14 years

Her father's present age = 3x = 3×14 = 42 years
