Step-by-step explanation:

Let "x" be Meena's age and "9x" as Meena's mother's age.

After 3 years Meena's age will be (x+3) and her mother's age will be 9x+3 which will be 5 times Meena's age at that time. Hence equation formed would be:

5(x + 3) = 9x + 3

 5x + 3 = 9x + 3

       4x = 12

       $\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{12}{4}$

         x = 3  (this is Meena's age)

Mother's age : 9 x 3 = 27
