Question

Meena’s age is four times her daughter’s age. Two years ago she was five times her
daughter’s age. Find their present ages.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the mother's age be M and that of her

daughter, D, now.

l 62.0 2 D ا... B

M = 3D ... (1)

(M-6) = 5(D-6), or

M = 6+5D-30, or

M = 5D-24...(2)

Equate (1) and (2)

3D = 5D-24, or

2D = 24, or

D = 12.

So the Mother is 36 years and the Daughter is 12 years old now.
