Answer:

7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Suri's age=17 years

Her cousin's age =c

Suri's age is 4 less than 3 times her cousin's age

4 less than 3 times her cousin's age means subtract 4 from 3 times her cousin's age

17=3c - 4

Find c which is her cousin's age

Add 4 to both sides

17+4=3c - 4 + 4

17+4=3c

21=3c

Divide both sides by 3

21/3=3c/3

7=c

Therefore,

C= 7

Her cousin's age = 7 years

Margarita [4]

Let a the price of a basket of oranges be O, that of a basket of apples A, a basket of mangoes M and a basket of peaches P, then
O + A + M + P = 790 . . . (1)
M - 4 = P + 7 = 3O = A/2 . . . (2)
From (2), we have:
M = P + 11
O = (P + 7)/3
A = 2P + 14

Substituting for M, O and A into (1), gives:
(P + 7)/3 + 2P + 14 + P + 11 + P = 790
P + 7 + 6P + 42 + 3P + 33 + 3P = 2370
13P + 82 = 2370
13P = 2288
P = 176

Therefore, the price of a basket of peaches is Rs176.
