Answer»

Answer:

24 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let her present age is 'x' years.

According to the given condition, we get

=> (1/3)[x - 3] + (1/2)[x + 2] = 20

=> (x-3)/3 + (x + 2)/2 = 20

=> 2(x-3) + 3(x+2) = 20 * 6

=> 2x - 6 + 3x + 6 = 120

=> 5x = 120

=> 5x = 120

=> x = 24.

Therefore, She is 24 years old.
