Question

A mother is three times as old as her daughter however after 12 years she will be only 2 times the age of her daughter find their present ages

Answer 1

Mother is 3 times as old as her daughter.

Let Present age of Daughter=x years

Then Age of Mother=3x years.

After 12 years

Daughter Age=(x+12) years

Mother Age=(3x+12) Years.

She will be also 2 times age of her daughter (x+12)

A/Q

3x+12=2(x+12)

3x+12=2x+24

3x-2x=24-12

x=12

Daughter Present Age=x=12 years

Mother Present Age=3x=3×12=36 years

$\boxed{\mathbf{\large{Daughter=12\:years}}}$

$\boxed{\mathbf{\large{Mother=36\: years}}}$

Answer 2

Let present age of daughter = x years

Age of mother = 3x years

After 12 years,

Daughter's age = (x+12) years

Mother's age = (3x+12) years

= 3x+ 12= 2(x+12)

=3x+ 12= 2x+ 24

=3x-2x = 24-12

=x = 12

Daughter's present age= 12 years

Mother's present age= 12×3= 36 years
