Q:
Ishikha got married 9 years ago. Today her age is 4/3 times her age at the time of marriage. At present her daughter’s age is one-sixth of her age. What was her daughter’s age three years ago?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: B) 3 years
Explanation: Let Ishika and her daughter present ages be p and q
From the given data,
p = 4/3(p - 9)
=> p = 36 years
Hence, Ishika's present age = 36 years and
Her daughter's present age = 1/6 x 36 = 6 years
Now, required her daughter’s age three years ago = 6 - 3 = 3 years.
