Present age of mother is three times the present age of daughter. After 12 years mother's age will be twice of daughter's age. What is the present age of daughter? Correct Answer 12 years
Given:
The age of mother is 3 times age of daughter
After 12 years, the ratio of age is 1 : 2
Calculation:
Let the present age of daughter be x
Then, the present age of mother be 3x
The age after 12 years,
Daughter = x + 12
Mother = 3x + 12
According to the question;
⇒ (x + 12)/(3x + 12) = 1/2
⇒ 2x + 24 = 3x + 12
⇒ x = 12 years
∴ The present age of daughter is 12 years
