Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
let the present age of sita be x then present age of her father=3x
After six year
age of sita= x+6
age of her father= 3x+6
According to question
x+6+3x+6=69
Or, 4x+12=69
Or, 4x= 69-12
or, 4x= 57
Or, x= 57/4
= 14yr 3month
Hence age of sita= x
= 14year3month
age of her father= 3x
= 3(14yr 3month)
= 42yr 9month

Step-by-step explanation:
let Sita age = x years
let her father's age = y years
according to question
y = 3x
after 6 years
sita age = (x+6) years
father's age = (y+6) years
according to question
(x+6)+(y+6) = 69
x +y +12 =69
x+y = 69-12=57
x+3x = 57
4x = 57
x = 57/4
x= 14.25
y=3x = 3×14.25 = 42.75
so
sita age = 14years 3 months
father's age = 42 years 9 months
