here
the age of a mother be x
and the age of her daughter be y

x (1\6)= y.........(1)
and
x - y = 35 .........(2)
Now,
equation (1) put in equation (2) we get,
x - x(1\6)= 35
6x - x = 35x6
5x = 210
x = 210\5
x =42
the value of x put in equation (1) we get,
42\6 =y
7 =y
so the age of a mother be x = 42 years
the age of her daughter be y = 7 years
