Answer 1

Answer:

years & 30 years

Question states that Neelam's mother's present age is 6 times Neelam's present age. Neelam's age 5 years from now will be the ⅓ of her mother's present age. & we're asked to calculate their present ages. We've:

Neelam's mother's present age is 6 times the Neelam's present age.

Neelam's age 5 years from now will be the ⅓ of her mother's present age.

Let's say, that the Neelam's age be x and her mother's age be 6x.

» 5 years from now,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⌑ Neelam's age = (x + 5)

⠀⠀⠀⠀⌑ Her mother's age = (6x + 5)

Therefore,

Neelam's age, x = 5 years

Neelam's mother's age, 6x = 6(5) = 30 years

❝ Hence, the present age of Neelam and her mother are 5 years and 30 years. ❞
