One year ago Pandit was three times his sister's age. Next
year he will be only twice her age. How old will Pandit be
after five years?

Answer Posted / siddharth

let sisters present age be X

last year she was x-1, and pandit was 3(x-1)
next year she will be x+1 and pandit 2(x+1)

so equating both

3x-3 + 2 = 2x + 2

x= 3 today.

so last year she was 2 and pandit was 6.

now pandit is 7. 5 years from now he will be 12

Is This Answer Correct ?    31 Yes 2 No
