Question

Vikas is three years older then deepika. six years years ago, vikas's age was four times Deeika's age. Find the ages of Deepika and vikas.

Answer 1

let the age of vikas be x

let the age of Deepika be y.

x=y+3.............................1

x-6=4(y-6)

x-6=4y-24

x-4y=-18..........................2

putting the value of x in 2.

y+3-4y=-18

-3y=-21

y=-21/-3

y=7

putting the value of y in 1

x=7+3

x=10

Hence the age of vikas is 10

and age of deepika is 7
