Dipa is seven years older than Shikha. Fifteen years ago, Shika’s age was three quarters of Dipa’s age. Find the present age of Dipa. Correct Answer 43 years
Given, fifteen years ago, Shika’s age was three quarters of Dipa’s age i.e.:
Shika’s age = 3 / 4 Dipa’s age
Let, fifteen years ago Shika’s age = 3x and Dipa’s age = 4x
Also given, Dipa is seven years older than Shikha.
4x - 3x = 7
x = 7
Fifteen years ago Dipa’s age = 4 × 7 = 28
Thus, present age of Dipa = 28 + 15 = 43
Hence, ‘43 years’ is the correct answer.
