Correct Question:
The present age of Manish's mother is 1 year more than 5 times the present age of Manish. four years before if the product of their ages was 22 then find the present age of Manish and his mother?
To find:
the present age of Manish and his mother
SOLUTION:
Let the present Manish age is x
Manish's mother age is 1 year more than 5 times the present age of Manish = 5x + 1
Four years before:
Manish's age = x-4
His mother's age = 5x+1-4
It is given that the product of their ages was 22.
According to the question:
=> (x - 4)(5x+1- 4) = 22
=> (x - 4)(5x - 3) = 22
=> 5x² - 3x - 20x + 12 = 22
=> 5x² - 23x + 12 - 22 = 0
=> 5x² - 23x - 10 = 0
=> 5x² - 25x + 2x - 10 = 0
=> 5x(x - 5) + 2(x - 5) = 0
=> (x - 5)(5x + 2) = 0
=> x = 5 or (-2/5)
The value of x cant be negative so take the value of x is 5
