Pushpa is twice as old as rita was 2 years ago. if difference between their ages is 2 years, how old is pushpa today

Answer»

LET,

Pushpa's age= x

RITA's age= y


Then, 2 years ago,

Rita's age= y-2


At present,

Pushpa's age= 2(y-2)

THUS, x=2(y-2) ....(i)


Also, x-y=2

=>x=y+2 ....(II)


COMPARING (i) & (ii),

2(y-2)=y+2

=>2y-4=y+2

=>2y-y=4+2

=>y=6


Thus, x=y+2=6+2=8 => x=8


Pushpa is 8 years old.
