Leela got married 6 years ago. Today her age is 1¼ times her age at the time of her marriage
Leela got married 6 years ago. Today her age is 1¼ times her age at the time of her marriage. Her son’s age is 1/10 times her age. What is the present age of her son?
- 1 year
- 2 years
- 3 years
- 4 years
Answer
Let the present age of Leela's son be x.
Son’s age is 1/10 times Leela's age.
Leela's present age = 10x
Leela's age is 1¼ times her age 6 years ago.
10x = 5/4(10x - 6)
8x = 10x - 6
2x = 6
x = 3
The correct option is C.
