let sita's father's age be X
let sita's age be Y
present age,
X = 3Y ------------(1)
after 6 years,
sita's father's age be X+6
sita's age be Y+6
then,
(X+6) + (Y+6) = 69 -----------(2)
solving (1) and (2) by substitution method,
X+6 + Y+6 = 69
3Y+6 + Y+6 = 69
4Y + 12 = 69
4Y = 69 - 12
Y = 57/4
Y = 14.25
X = 3Y
X = 3×14.25
X = 42.75
SO,
the present age of sita's father is 42 (or 43 approx) and sita's age be 14 (approx)
let sita's age be Y
present age,
X = 3Y ------------(1)
after 6 years,
