Answer :
40 years
Solution :
Let the son's present age be x years .
Now ,
According to the question , Kamla is four times as old as her son .
Thus ,
Kamal's present age is 4x .
Also ,
Son's age 5 years ago = (x - 5) .
Kamla's age 5 years ago = (4x - 5)
Again ,
According to the question , five years ago Kamla's son was 1/7 of her age .
Thus ,
=> x - 5 = (1/7)•(4x - 5)
=> 7(x - 5) = 4x - 5
=> 7x - 35 = 4x - 5
=> 7x - 4x = 35 - 5
=> 3x = 30
=> x = 30/3
=> x = 10
Thus ,
Kamla's present age = 4x = 4•10 = 40 yrs
