Eighteen years ago, a mother was three times as old as her daughter. Now the mother is only twice as old as her daughter. Then the sum of the present ages of daughter and the mother is ? Correct Answer 108 yrs

Let the present ages of the mother and daughter be 2x and x years respectively. Then, (2x - 18) = 3(x - 18) => x = 36 Required sum = (2x + x) = 108 years.
