Age Problem
Pooja told narmadha, "I am four times as old as you were when I was your present age and also I am 9 years older than you" . what is pooja's age?
Read Solution (Total 12)
-
- 12 years
If present ages of Pooja=x and Narmadha=y, then
x-y=9 ---(i) &
4y=x ---(ii)
On solving (i) & (ii), x=12, y=3 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(22) No(3)
- p=n+9;
p=4(n-9);
p=24,n=15; - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(9) No(3)
- P=N+9
N=4(N-9)
N=12
P=21 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(3)
- Pooja's age = P-(P-N)
Narmadha's age = N-(P-N)
P=N+9
P=4[N-(P-N)]
By solving,
N= 15years
P= 24years

- POOJA'S AGE IS 21 YEARS & NARMADHA'S AGE IS 12 YEARS, B'COZ->
(12-9)*4=21-9 -> 3*4=12->12=12 &
21-12=9YEARS - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
- Say pooja's present age is X, narmadha's age is y
When pooja y yrs old ,her age is 4times greater than narmadha's and 9yrs older
narmadas age at that time is say z
So y=4*z
Y-z=9
Solving we get z=3&y=12
So when narmadha's age is 12 pooja's present age is 12+9=21 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
- For example, Pooja's present age Narmadha's present age (Difference should be 9years)
24 15
you were when I was your present age;
15 6
now, four times as old as you were when I was ur present age = 6*4 = 24 is pooja's present present age.
(condition satisfied)
In equation, Pooja Narmadha
P-(P-N) N-(P-N)
P=N+9
P= 4[N-(P-N)]
By solving, N=15years
P= 24years - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- p=4(p-9)
as given that pooja is 89yrs older than narmada
p=4p-36
p=12 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- 4(x-18)=x-9
x=21
pujitha's age=21+9=30 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- ans is 12
x=N+9;
x=4*N;
ans x=12. - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- p-n=9.....(1)
now when p was n yrs old,narmada was n/4 yrs.
after (n-n/4) yrs narmada becomes n yrs old.
so eq(1) becomes n+3n/4-n=9
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- narmatha's age=x
pooja's age=4x
narmatha's age=pooja's age+9
x=4(x+9)=4x+36
3x=36
x=12yrs - 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
