Answer 1

• Given

• Sum of ages of sita and Gita = 34 years
• Sita is elder to Gita by six years.

• To find

• Their present ages

• Solution

Let the age of Gita be x years and the age of Sita be (x + 6) years.

According to the question,

⇒ x + 6 + x = 34

⇒ 2x + 6 = 34

⇒ 2x = 34 - 6

⇒ 2x = 28

⇒ x = 28/2

⇒ x = 14

The value of x is 14.

Their present ages -

• Gita's age = x = 14 years.
• Sita's age = x + 6 = 14 + 6 = 20 years.

Let's verify -

Sum of their ages = 34 years.

• Age of Gita = 14 years.
• Age of Sita = 20 years.

⇒ 14 + 20

⇒ 34 years.

Hence, verified.
