Question 1
Mridul is 5/12 of Durga's age. After 24 years, Mridul will be 1/2 of Durga's age. Find Mridul's present age.
Let Durga = x, then Mridul = 5/12x
After 24 years: 5/12x + 24 = 1/2(x + 24)
Solving gives x = 72, so Mridul = 30
After 24 years: 5/12x + 24 = 1/2(x + 24)
Solving gives x = 72, so Mridul = 30
