Hema was twice as old as Geeta 10 years ago. How old is Geeta today, if Hema will be 40 years old 10 years henceforth?

1. 25 years
2. 20 years
3. 15 years
4. 35 years

Correct Option: B

10 years after , The age of Hema = 40 years
The present age of Hema = 40 – 10 = 30 years
The age of Hema 10 years ago = The present age of Hema - 10 years = 30 – 10 = 20 years

The age of Geeta 10 years ago =	20	= 10 years
	2

So, the present age of Geeta = The age of Geeta 10 years ago + 10 years = 10 + 10 = 20 years.
