Vikas is threeyears older than Deepika.Six years ago,Vikas's age was four times Deepika's age.Find the ages of Deepika and Vikas

Answer 1

Deepika's age is 7
And Vikas's age is 10

Answer 2

Let Deepika be x years old
Then Vikas = x+3 years old
6 years ago their ages were
Vikas = x+3-6 = x-3
Deepika = x-6
Gien Vikas`s age was 4 times Deepika`s age
⇒ x-3 = 4(x-6)
⇒ x-3 = 4x-24
⇒ -3+24 = 4x-x
⇒ 21 = 3x
⇒ 21/3 = x
∴ x = 7
∴Deepika`s age = x = 7 yrs
  Vikas`s age = x+3 = 7+3 = 10yrs
