Question

A mother is 5 times her daughter's age. In 6 years time, the mother will be 3 times her daughter's age. How old is her daughter now?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mother's Age=30yrs

Daughter's Age=6yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Mother's present age=x

Daughter's present age=y

so, x=5y

and x+6=3(y+6)

5y+6=3y+18

2y=12

y=6years.

So, x=5y

=5(6)

x=30years.

HOPE THIS HELPS!

Answer 2

Let the present age of her daughter = x

then, her mother's age will be 5x

In 6 years

daughter age = x × 6
