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
