Question 184
It was Shriram’s and Sreedevi’s 12th Wedding Anniversary. Shriram said. “When we got married, Sreedevi was 3/4th of my age, but now she is 5/6th of my age”. What actually are their present ages ?
Solution
Let the present age of Shriram be $$6x$$
=> Present age of Sreedevi = $$5x$$
Also, 12 years ago, Sreedevi was 3/4th of Shriram's age
=> $$5x - 12 = \frac{3}{4} (6x - 12)$$
=> $$20x - 48 = 18x - 36$$
=> $$x = 6$$
=> Shriram's present age = 6*6 = 36 years
Sreedevi's present age = 6*5 = 30 years
