    Meena is eight years older than Sita. Eight years ago,

    three times the age of Sita is 15 more than the age of Meena. Find the present age of Sita.
    A 2.8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 8.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 5.8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 15.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the present age of Sita be ‘S’ years.

    Present age of Meena = (S + 8) years

    ATQ,

    3 × (S - 8) = (S + 8) - 15

    Or, 3S - 24 = S - 7

    Or, 2S = 17

    Or, ‘S’ = 8.5

    So, present age of Sita = 8.5 years
