Question 1
6 years ago, the ratio of Nirmala's age to Sameer's age was 3:4. 12 years from now, the ratio will be 4:5. Find Nirmala's present age.
Let Nirmala's present age = x, Sameer's present age = y
6 years ago: (x-6)/(y-6) = 3/4
12 years from now: (x+12)/(y+12) = 4/5
Solving these equations gives x = 18, y = 24
6 years ago: (x-6)/(y-6) = 3/4
12 years from now: (x+12)/(y+12) = 4/5
Solving these equations gives x = 18, y = 24
