Question

Meena's mother is 4 times as old as Meena .After 5years her mother will be 3 times as old as she will be then.What are thier present age?​

Answer 1

let Meena's present age be x.

Then, her mother's present age = 4x

After 5yrs

Meena's age = x+5

Meena's mother age = 4x+5

A/q

⇒4x+5 = 3(x+5)

⇒4x+5 = 3x +15

⇒4x-3x = 15-5

⇒x = 10

∴ Meena's present age = 10yrs

Her mother's present age = 4×10 = 40yrs
