Question

Take Sarita’s present age to be $\mathrm{y}\mathrm{years}$. Sarita’s father’s age is $5\mathrm{years}$ more than $3$ times Sarita’s age. What is her father’s age?

Answer 1

Given, the present age of Sarita $=\mathrm{y}\mathrm{years}$

According to the question, Sarita’s father’s age is $5\mathrm{years}$ more than $3$ times Sarita’s age.

$3$ times of Sarita’s age $=3\times \mathrm{y}=3\mathrm{y}\mathrm{years}$

Then Sarita's father's age $=(3\mathrm{y}+5)\mathrm{years}$

Therefore, the age of Sarita's father is $(3\mathrm{y}+5)\mathrm{years}$.
