Mira's age after two years will be twice her present age, what is her present age?

Open in App
Solution

We don't know the present age of Mira, so let us consider it as a variable 'a'.
Her age after 2 years = a + 2
We are given that after two years, her age will be twice her present age.
So, her age after 2 years = a × 2 = 2a
It means, (a + 2) = 2a.
So, a = 2.
Therefore, the present age of Mira is 2 years.
