    Question

    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
