Answer 2

Hello friends!!

Here is your answer :

Let present age of Sarika be x

Let present age of Salma be y

According to question,

$x + y = 60 \: \: \: \: \: \: .............(1)$


$x = 2y \: \: \: \: \: \: ..........(2)$


Putting the value of x in eqⁿ (1)


$2y + y = 60$


$3y = 60$

$y = \frac{60}{3}$


$y = 20$


Putting the value of y in eqⁿ (2)


$x = 2(20)$


$x = 40$

Therefore,

Present age of Sarika = 40 years

Present age of Salma = 20 years


Hope it helps you...
