Eighteen years ago, a mother was three times as old as her daughter. Now the mother is only twice as old as her daughter. Then the sum of the present ages of daughter and the mother is ?

84 yrs
96 yrs
116 yrs
108 yrs

Correct Answer: 108 yrs

Explanation:

Let the present ages of the mother and daughter be 2x and x years respectively.
Then, (2x - 18) = 3(x - 18) => x = 36
Required sum = (2x + x) = 108 years.
