Question

Sunita is half the age of her mother Geeta. Find their ages before 3 years?

Answer 1

Let the age of Sunita’s mother = 2x years

Then, Sunita’s age = `(1/2)` × Age of Sunita’s mother = `(2x)/2`

Before 3 years, Sunita’s age = (x – 3) years

And her mother’s age = (2x – 3) years

Note: Before 3 years means, 3 years is subtracted from present age.
