Today is Sindhu's birthday. One year from today, she will be twice as old as she was 14 years ago. What is Sindhu's age today? Correct Answer 29 years

The logic followed is:

Given:

i) Today is Sindhu's birthday.

Let Sindhu's age today be = x years

ii) One year from today.

Then, Sindhu's age after 1 year = (x + 1) years.

A.T.Q,

iii) One year from today, she will be twice as old as she was 14 years ago.

x + 1 = 2 (x - 14)

x + 1 = 2x - 28

x = 28 + 1

x = 29 years

Hence, the correct answer is "29 years".
