Saraswathy  (10 years ago)

Let m nd l be the present ages of Martha nd Lyndra
Then m=4l

4 years ago
(m-4)=8(l-4)
m = 8l-28

Equate "m"
4l = 8l - 28
4l = 28
l = 7
m = 28

After x years , Martha ll be twice of Lyndra
(m+x) = 2(l+x)
28+x = 2*7+2x
28+x = 14+2x
x = 14
So after 14 years martha and lyndra ages ll be 42 nd 21

Ans : a) 14 years
