Let Kanika’s present age be x years. Complete the following table, showing ages of her relatives:

(i) Her brother is 2 years younger.

which means smaller than Kanika by 2 years hence we should subtract 2 from Kanika’s age to get her brother’s age brother’s age = (x – 2) years

(ii) Her father’s age exceeds her age by 35 years. Which means father’s age is 35 years more than Kanika’s age hence we should add 35 to Kanika’s age to get father’s age father’s age = (x + 35) years

(iii) Mother’s age is 3 years less than that of her father. Which means mother is smaller than father by 3 years hence we should subtract 3 from father’s age calculated above mother’s age = (x + 35) – 3 = x + 35 – 3 = (x + 32) years

(iv) Her grand father’s age is 8 times of her age. Grandfather’s age = 8 × x = 8x

Hence the table
