Question :
- Anita's present age is x yrs and her mother is 30 yrs older than Anita therefore mother's present age is ------
- 10 yrs ago, Anita's age was ---- if the ratio of Anita's age to her mother's age was 1 : 7.
solution : 1. if Anita's present age is x
and her mother is 30 yrs older than Anita
then, her mother's age = 30 yrs + Anita's age
= (30 + x) yrs
2. 10 yrs ago, Anita's age was = (x - 10)yrs
mother's age was = (x + 30 - 10) = (x + 20) yrs
now ratio of their ages = (x - 10)/(x + 20) = 1/7
⇒7x - 70 = x + 20
⇒6x = 90
⇒x = 15 yrs
Therefore Anita's present age is 15 yrs and 10 year ago, her age was (15 - 10) = 5 yrs.
