Question

The present age of Sita’s father is three times the present age of Sita. After six years sum of their ages will be 68 years. Find their present ages.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let Sita's present age = x

Father's present age = 3x

After 6 years,

Sita's age = x+6

Father's age = 3x+6

ATQ,

x+6+3x+6 = 68

4x = 68-12

x = 56/4

x = 14

Sita's present age = x = 14 years

Father's present age = 3x = 3×14 = 42 years
