Question

Chandan's mothers present age is six times Chandan's present age. Chanda'age five years from now will be one third of his mothers present age. What are their present ages?

Answer 1

let chandan's mother's present age be : x

and that of chandan's be :y

according to the question,

x=6y-------eq 1

after 5 years,

y+5=1/3x-----eq2

substitute eq 1 in eq 2,

y+5=1/3×6y

y+5=2y

2y-y=5

y=5

THEREFORE CHANDAN'S PRESENT AGE IS:5 YEARS

Substitute y=5 in eq 1,

x=6(5)

=30

therefore mother's age is 30 years

MOTHER'S AGE=30 YEARS

CHANDAN'S AGE=5 YEARS
