Let the present age of daughter be x.
Then the present age of Miss Jain will be 5 times as old as daughter = 5x.
6 years later:
The age of daughter = (x + 6)
The age of miss Jain = (5x + 6).
Given that Jain will be three times as old as her daughter.
5x + 6 = 3(x + 6)
5x + 6 = 3x + 18
5x - 3x = 18 - 6
2x = 12
x = 6.
The age of Miss Jain = 5 * 6
= 30 years
Therefore the age of miss Jain = 30years.
Hope this helps!
