100 TUTUL MIIULUIWILLIOThe sum of Beena's age and one-third ofher mother's age is 26 years. If her motheris 30 years older than Beena, what is thepresent age of Beena?

Answer»

Let age of Beens be xThen age of her mother =(x + 30)

As per given conditionx + (x + 30)/3 = 26

Take LCM

3x + x + 30 = 26*34x + 30 = 784x = 78 - 30 = 48x = 48/4 = 12

Therefore, age of Beena = 12 years

Let age of beena's be x.......and mother be x+30A.C to question.....x+1/3(x+30)=26[as sum of Beena and one third of his mother age is 26]x+1/3x+1/3×30=x+1/3x+10=264x/3+10=264x/3=26-10=16x=16×3/4=4×3=12

This one is more easier......
