Question

Lata's mother is four times as old as Lata. After 5 years, her mother will be three times as old as she will be
then. Find their present ages.​

Answer 1

Let the age of Lata be x years

Then , the present age of Lata's mother will be 4x years

After 5 years,

Lata's age = x +5 years

Her mother's age = 4x + 5 years

A.T.Q.

4x + 5 = 3 ( x + 5 )

$4x +5=3(x+5)\\4x+5=3x+15\\4x-3x=15-5\\x=10$

Therefore , the present age of Lata is 10 years .

And , the present age of her mother is 40 years .
