Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let their ages be x.

if sahil's age is x then his mother's age

3 times sahil's age = 3*x = 3x

now it is given that after 5 years their ages will add up to 66

therefore A TO Q

using distributive property we will add 5 to both of them

x + 5 + 3x + 5 = 66

4x + 10 = 66

transposing 10 to RHS

4x = 66 - 10

4x = 56

therefore

x = 56 / 4

x = 14

hence sahil's age = x * 1 = 14

and mother's age = 3x = 14 * 3 = 42

hence verified

option a is correct
