- B. 12 years and 44 years
- C. 11 years and 45 years
- D. 13 years and 43 years
- Correct Answer
- 12 years and 44 years
ExplanationSuppose the age of mother be P years and that of daughter's age be Q years.
According to question P + Q = 56 .........(i)
After 4 years, P + 4 = 3 (Q + 4) ? P + 4 = 3Q + 12 ? P ? 3Q = 8 ......(ii)
On solving equations (i) and (ii) , we get
Q = 12 years
? P = 56 ? 12 = 44 years
Hence , the age of mother is 44 years and her daughter's age is 12 years . - 1. I go 5 km East, then turn right and go 8km. Then I turn left and go 5 km and then I turn left and go 8 km. At what distance am I from the starting point?
