Let Current age of Zeba = x years
Zeba's age If She is younger by 5 years = x -5
According To Question
(x-5)2 = 11 + 5x
=> x2 + 25 -10x = 11 + 5x
=> x2 -15x + 14=0
=> x2 -14x-x+14=0
=> x (x-14) -1(x-14)=0
=> (x-1)(x-14)=0
=> x - 1=0 or x-14=0
=> x = 1, 14
x can't be 1.
So current age of Zeba = 14 years

Answer:
14 Years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Current age of Zeba = x years
Zeba's age If She is younger by 5 years = x -5
(x-5)2 = 11 + 5x
=> x2 + 25 -10x = 11 + 5x
=> x2 -15x + 14=0
=> x2 -14x-x+14=0
=> x (x-14) -1(x-14)=0
=> (x-1)(x-14)=0
=> x - 1=0 or x-14=0
=> x = 1, 14
x can't be 1.
So current age of Zeba = 14 years
