- 10 years ago the age of mother is thrice of her daughter
- If the some of their present ages is 60,
Present age
Let ,
Daughter age = x
Mother age = 60 - x
10 years ago
Daughter age = x - 10
Mother age = 60 - 10 - x = 50 - x
ATQ
Hence :-
Daughter age = 20 years
Mother's age = x - 20 = 60 - 20 = 40 years
Question and answer -
Let's understand the concept 1st -
★ This question says that 10 years ago the age of mother is thrice (3) of her daughter. If the sum of their present ages is 60, we have to find out their (mother and daughter) present age's.
Given that -
❥ 10 years ago the age of mother is thrice of her daughter
❥ The sum of their present ages is 60.
To find -
❥ Present age of mother and daughter.
Solution -
❥ Present age of mother = 40
❥ Present age of daughter = 20
Assumption -
Now,
❥ Age of mother = a
❥ Age of daughter = 60 - a
10 years ago
❥ Mother age
= 60 - 10 - a
= 50 - a
❥ Daughter age = a - 10
Full solution -
~ From all the above data let's work according to the question now,
◕ 50 - a = 3(a-10)
◕ 50 - a = 3a - 30
◕ 50 + 30 = 3a + a
◕ 80 = 4a
◕ 80/4 = a
◕ 20 = a
◕ a = 20
Means,
- Daughter age = 20 years
- Mother's age = 40 years
= a - 20
= 60 - 20
= 40 years
