    Solution

    ATQ, Let the present age ‘Chinu’ and ‘Diksha’ be ‘4c’ years and ‘5c’ years, respectively. So, present age of ‘Bipasa’ = 5c × 0.55 = ‘2.75c’ years Present age of ‘Aravi’ = (4c + 4)/2 = (2c + 2) years According to question: 2c + 2 + 2.75c + 4c = 24 × 3 Or, 8.75c = 70 c = 8 Present age of Diksha = 5 × 8 = 40 years
