Answer:
The daughter's present age is 15 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the age of the daughter be 'x'
Given that the mother is 30 years old than her daughter.
=> Age of the mother = 30 + x
Their ages before 10 years would be
Daughter = x - 10
Mother = (30 + x) - 10 = x + 20
Given that the ratio of daughter age to mothers age is 1:7
=> (x-10) : (x+20) = 1 : 7
=> 7( x - 10) = 1(x + 20)
=> 7x - 70 = x + 20
=> 7x - x = 20 + 70
=> 6x = 90
=> x = 15
Therefore, the daughter's present age is 15 years.
