Step-by-step explanation:
Question;- 5 years ago a mother was 7 times as old as her daughter. 5 years hence, she will be 3 times as old as her daughter. Find their present ages.
Answer;-
Let the daughter's age before 5 yrs be x years.
.° . Mother's age before 5 yrs= 7x years
After 10 years (5±5), the daughter' age=(x±10)yrs
After 10 years, mother's age= (7x±10) yrs
As per condition,
=7x±10 = 3(x±10)
=7x±10 = 3x±30
=7x-3x = 30-10
=4x = 20
.°. =x = 5
Hence, the present age of the daughter=5±5
=10 years
and the present age of mother=7×5±5
=40 years
