Question

5. Parveen's mother is 5 years more than three times Parveen's age. If the age of Parven's mother is 29 years. Find the age of Parveen. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is

C

25 years

Let the daughter's age be x years. Then,

Mother's age =3x years and

Father's age=(3x+5) years

When daughter's age is 10 years,

Father's age =(3×10+5)=35 years.

When daughter was born,

Father's age=(35−10)=25 years.

Answer 2

Let Parveen's age be x.

Then, her mother's age be = 3x+5

But Parveen's mother's age is 29.

Then,

3x+5 = 29

3x = 29-5

x = 24/3 = 8

Parveen's age = x = 8 Answer
