Question 192

At present Sofia is 1.5 times Shalu’s age and twice Saloni’s age. After six years Sofia will be 1.4 times Shalu’s age and Satoni will be 0.8 times Shalu’s age then. What is Salonfs present age

Solution

Let Sofia's present age be x

Let Shalu's present age be y

Let Saloni's present age be z

From given conditions,

x = 1.5y = 2z

x+6 = 1.4(y+6)

z+6 = 0.8(y+6)

x= 2z and y =4z/3

Substituting these conditions, we get z = 18
