Question

The sum of present ages of Sita and Gita is 32 years. 4 years ago Sita's age is thrice the Gita's age. Find their present ages​

Answer 1

Answer:

let

present age of Sita and Gita is x and y respectively

x+y=32

y=32-x

four years ago Sita age is thrice the Gita age

i.e(x-4)=3y

(x-4)=3(32-x)

x-4=96-3x

x+3x=96+4

4x=100

x=100/4

x=25

Sita age=x=25

Gita age =y=32-x=32-25=7
