Ishikha got married 9 years ago. Today her age is 4/3 times her age at the time of marriage. At present her daughters age is one-sixth of her age. What was her daughters age three years ago?

Correct Answer: 3 years

Let Ishika and her daughter present ages be p and q

 From the given data, 

p = 4/3(p - 9)

 => p = 36 years 

Hence, Ishika's present age = 36 years and

Her daughter's present age = 1/6 x 36 = 6 years 

Now, required her daughter’s age three years ago = 6 - 3 = 3 years.
