Back to Exercise
Reena is twice as old as Sunita. Three years ago, she was three times as old as Sunita. How old is Reena now ?
- A 6 years
- B 12 years Correct
- C 14 years
- D 16 years
Correct Answer: Option B
Let Sunita's present age = x years
Then Reena present age = 2x years
Three years ago
(2x-3) = 3(x-3)
2x - 3 = 3x - 9
or x = 6
Reena age = 2x = 2*6 = 12 year.
