Question

Gaurav mother age is 28 years older than him five years ago she was five times as old as Gaurav of find the present age

Answer 1

Answer:

Gaurav = 12 yrs.

His Mother = 40 yrs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Gaurav's mother age is 28 yrs. older than him.

Let the present age of Gaurav be x yrs.

Therefore, we have,

Present Age of mother = (x+28) yrs.

Five Years Ago

Age of Gaurav = (x-5) yrs.

Age of mother = (x+28-5) = (x+23) yrs.

But, it's given that,

She was five times as old as Gaurav.

Therefore, we will get,

=> x + 23 = 5(x-5)

=> x + 23 = 5x - 25

=> 5x - x = 23 + 25

=> 4x = 48

=> x = 48/4

=> x = 12

Therefore, we have,

=> x + 28 = 12 + 28 = 40

Hence, the present age of Gaurav = 12 yrs. and of his Mother = 40 yrs.
