Marks: +1, -0

Pushpa is twice as old as Rita was two years age. If the difference between their ages be 2 yr, how old is Pushpa today?

Solution:

Let the present age of Pushpa be

x

yr. Then, the present age of Rita would be

(x-2)

yr.
So.

x=2(x-2-2)

⇒ x=2 x-8

⇒ x=8 {yr}

Therefore, the present age of Pushpa is

8 {yr}
