Question

Two years ago Salim was thrice as his daughter and six years later the he will be four year older than twice her age How are they now?

Answer 1

Let the present age of salim be x and yhat of his daughter be y
2 years ago age of salim=x-2
age of daughter=y-2
(x-2)=3(y-2)
x-3y=-4
after 6 years
x+6=4+2(y+6)
x-2y=10
Upon solving the above two eq we get y=14 x=38
