Question

. Meena’s mother is four times as old as Meena. After five years, her mother will be three times as old as she will be then. What are their present ages?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of Meena's mother be x

let the age of Meena be y

ATQ;

x+5=3(y+5)..........(I)

x=4y.........(ii)

Substituting the value of (ii) in (I)

4y+5=3(y+5)

4y+5=3y+15

4y-3y=15-5

y=10 .........(iii)

Now putting thr value of y in (ii)

x=4(10)

x=40

Hence the age of Meena's mother is 40 years and the age of Meena is 10 years.
