Question

A mother is three times as old as her son, and in 11 years she will be just twice his age. Find their present ages.

Answer 1

A mother is three times as old as her son,

Lets son’s present age be x, so his mother's present age is 3x

in 11 years she will be just twice his age.

In 11 years their ages, son age x + 11 and mother's age 3x + 11

According to statement

3x + 11 = 2 (x + 11)

3x + 11 = 2x + 22

3x - 2x = 22 - 11

x = 11

Thus son's present age is 11 years.

So, his mothers present age is 3x = 3 × 11 = 33 years

Answer son's present age 11 years, and his mothers present age is 33 years
