SSC Selection Post - Graduation Level - 30 June 2023 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q71

Rakhi is 20 years older than her daughter Shikha. In 6 years, Rakhi will be twice as old as Shikha. Therefore, Rakhi’s present age is ____ years.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 34.

Let the age of Sikha = S and Rakhi = S + 20

(S + 20) + 6 = 2(S + 6)

⇒ S + 26 = 2S + 12

⇒ S = 14

Rakhi's present age = 14 + 20 = 34 years
