Question

The present age of Sita’s father is three times the present age of Sita. After six years the sum of their ages will be 60 years. Find Sita's present age.

Answer 1

Present age of Sita = S

Present age of her father = F

Given, F = 3S ; (F + 6) + (S + 6) = 60

⇒(F + 6) + (S + 6) = 60

⇒(3S + 6) + (S + 6) = 60

⇒4S + 12 = 60

⇒4S = 48

⇒S = 12

Sita's present age = 12 years
