${\underline{\underline{\large{\bold{\red{Solution:-}}}}}} </p><p>$

• Let the present age of Meera be x years.

• Meera's mother is four times as old as Meera. So, Her age will be 4x years.

• After 5 years the age of Meera will be ( x + 5 ) years.

• According to the question,

After 5 years, the age of Meera's mother will be = ( 4x + 5 ) years.

According to the question,

$\begin{gathered}(4x + 5) = 3(x + 5) \\ \\ = > 4x + 5 = 3x + 15 \\ \\ = > 4x - 3x = 15 - 5 \\ \\ = > x = 10\end{gathered}$

Therefore, the present age of Meera's mother is (10 × 4 ) = 40 years.

$\therefore$

The age of Meera and her mother is respectively 10 years and 40 years.
