vikas is 3 yrs older than deepika. six yrs ago, vikas age was four times deepikas age. find the ages of deepika and vikas..

Answer 1

age of deepika is 7 years and age of vikas is 10 years

Answer 2

Hey

Let the present age of Deepika be x years .

So, present age of Vikas be ( x + 3 ) years .

Now ,

6 years ago ,

Age of deepika was = ( x - 6 ) years .

Age of vikas was = ( x + 3 - 6 ) years

= ( x - 3 ) years .

Also ,

Vikas age was four times the age of Deepika ( 6 years ago ) .

A / q ,

( x - 3 ) = 4 ( x - 6 )

=> x - 3 = 4x - 24

=> x - 4x = - 24 + 3

=> - 3x = - 21

=> x = - 21 / - 3

=> x = 7

So ,

Age of deepika = 7 years .

Age of Vikas = ( 7 + 3 ) years

= 10 years .


thanks :)
