Question

The sum of the ages of two friends Anushika and Naimish 14 years ago was one - third of the sum
of their present ages. If the present age of Anushika is four - thirds the present age of Naimish,
then what is the present age of Naimish?

Answer 1

Answer:

18 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Anushika present age be '4/3x' and Naimish present age be 'x"

Given that

(4/3x-14)+(x-14)=1/3(4/3x+x)

7/3x (-28)=7/9x

-28=7/9x-7/3x

-28/14*9 = - x

2*9 = x

x =18

Therefore the present age of Naimish is 18 years.
