Answer 2

Answer:

Sita's age = 14 years and 3 months

Father's age = 42 years and 9 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Sita's age be x

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

3x + 6 + x + 6 = 69

4x + 12 = 69

4x = 69 - 12

x = (69 - 12)/4

x = 57/4

= 14.25= 14 years and 3 months

Father's age = 42 years and 9 months
