Answer:

Persent age of mother = x2+6⇒36+6=42

Son = x+6=6+6=12

Explanation:

Let age of son 6 years before be x

then mother's age = x2

then, persent age son =x+6

mothers age =x2+6

After 3 year,

son =x+6+3=x+9

mother =x2+6+3=x2+9

A.T.Q

x2+9=3(x+9)

x2+9=3x+27

x2−3x−18=0

x2−6x+3x−18=0

x(x−6)+3(x−6)=0

(x+3)(x−6)=0

x=6        (-3 will neglect)

Persent age of mother = x2+6⇒36+6=42

Son = x+6=6+6=12
