Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFLet Megha's present age be 'x'.
Megha's age after one year = (x + 1)
Megha's age before before 8 years = (x - 8)
According to the question:
(x + 1) = 2 (x - 8)
⇒ x + 1 = 2x - 16
⇒ x = 17
Therefore, Megha's present age will be 17 years.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option (2)".
