Question:
Arpita’s present age is thrice of Shilpa. If Shilpa’s age three years ago was x, then Arpita’s present age is
(a) 3 (x – 3)
(b)3x + 3
(c) 3x – 9
(d) 3(x + 3)
Solution:
(d) Given, Shilpa’s age three years ago = x
Then, Shilpa’s present age = (x + 3)
Arpita’s present age = 3 x Shilpa’s present age = 3 (x + 3)
