1.

The age of sita and her sister are in the ratio of 3:8. after 12 years the ratio of their ages is 7:12. find there present ages.

Answer»

Let the age of Sita and her sister be 3x and 8x respectively. 

After 12 years, 

Sita's age = 3x + 12 and her sister's age = 8x + 12 

A/Q,

3x + 12 / 8x + 12 = 7 /12 

36x + 144 = 56x + 84 

60 = 20x 

x = 3, 

Sita's age = 3x = 9 years 

Sister's age = 8x = 24 years. 

Therefore, the ages of Sita and her sister are 9 and 24 years respectively.
