Question

Meera's mother is four times as old as Meera after 5 years her mother will be three times as old as she will be then what are their present ages

Answer 1

let meera's age =x
So meera's mother age = 4x
After four years meera's age = x+4
after 4 years meera's mother age = 4x+4
ATQ
3(x+4) = 4x+4
3x+12 = 4x+4
3x-4x=4-12
-x=-8
X=8

Meera's present age = 8yrs
Meera's mother present age = 4x
= 4×8
=32 yrs

Hope it helps :)

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of meera be x years and present age of merra's mother be y years.

It is given in the question that meera's mother is four times as old as Meera :]

➴ y = 4x........(Equation [1])

After 5 years,

Age of meera = (x + 5) years.

Age of merra's mother = (y + 5) years.

➴ (y + 5) = 3(x + 5)............(Equation [2])

Now, Putting equation (1) in equation (2) we get :

➳ 4x + 5 = 3x + 15

➳ 4x - 3x = 15 - 5

➳ x = 10 years

Now, Putting the value of x = 10 in equation (1) we get :

➳ y = 4x

➳ y = 4(10)

➳ y = 40 years

Therefore,

• Present Age of meera = 10 years.

• Present Age of meeras mother = 40 years.
