Read Solution (Total 2)
-
- Asha=25 Nisha =n Usha =3n
Asha=2a Nisha =a Usha =34
The difference of all ages must be same
25-2a=n-a=3n-34
We will get two equation
2n+a=34
n+a=25
From the equation we will get n=9 and a=16
The ages are Asha=2a=32 Nisha =16 and Usha =34
Sum of the ages =100
(32+x)+(16+x)+(34+x)=100
82+3x=100
3x=18
x=6
Age of Usha =34+6=40

- Let the age of Usha is 3x then Nisha is x and Asha is 25
Also Usha 34, Nisha y, and Asha 2y.
We know that 3x - 34 = x - 2y = 25 - 2y
Solving above three equations we get x = 9, y = 16
Their ages are 34, 16, 32. whose sum = 82. So after 18 years their ages will be equal to 100. So Usha age is 34 + 6 = 40
