Pushpa is twice as old as Rita was 2 years ago. If difference between their ages is 2 years, how old is Pushpa today?
-
- 6 years
- 8 years
- 10 years
- 12 years
- 6 years
Correct Option: B
Let Rita’s age 2 years ago = y years
Pushpa is twice as old as Rita was 2 years ago.
∴ Pushpa’s present age = 2y years
According to the question,
⇒ 2y – (y + 2) = 2
⇒ y – 2 = 2 ⇒ y = 4 years
∴ Pushpa’s present age = 2 × 4 = 8 years
