Gita is three times as old as her son, Five years later, Gita will be two and a half times as old as her son. Find their present ages.

Answer 1

Hello!!!

Here's The Answer :
$<b><i> Let Geeta 's son age be x.$
Geeta 's Age = 3x

Geeta' s son age after 5 yrs = ( x + 5 )
Geeta' s age after 5 yrs = ( 3x + 5 )

=>According to Question.

(3x + 5) = 2.5 ( x + 5)

3x + 5 = 2.5x + 12.5

3x - 2.5x = 12.5 - 5

0.5x = 7.5

x = 7.5 /0.5

x = 75 /5

x = 15

Geeta' s son age
= x
= 15
Geeta' s Age
= 3x
= 3 × 15
= 45

Hope It Helps!!!!
