Sita’s age is double that of Geetha’s. Some years back, Geetha was 30 years younger than Sita. Find Sita’s Age.

A 30

B 60

C 20

D None of these

Solution

Correct Answer: Option B

Sita's age= 2x

Geeta's age= x

y years ago,

2x - y = x - y + 30

or,

2x - x - y + y = 30

or, x = 30

Thus, Sita's age = 2 * 30 = 60
