Answers
There are some corrections in your question:
Mother is thrice as old as her daughter's age. 15 years hence, mother will be twice as old as her daughter's age. Find their present ages.
Answer:
Mother's age = 30 years
Daughter's age = 10 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 : Define x
Let the present age of daughter be x years
Given, mother is thrice the age of her daughter.
Let the present age of mother be 3x years
After 15 years, age of mother = 3x + 15 and age of daughter = x + 15
After 15 years, mother will be twice the age of her daughter = 2(x + 10)
Step 2 : Find the value of x
According to the question,
3x + 10 = 2(x + 10)
=> 3x + 10 = 2x + 20
=> 3x - 2x = 20 - 10
=> x = 10
Step 3 : Find their present ages
Present age of daughter => x years
=> 10 years
Present age of mother => 3x
=> 3 * 10
=> 30 years
let the present time age of daughter X
so given in this question thrice to daughter so mother age= (3x)
in this question also said about 15 years after so we both in added (x+15(3x+15)
after 15 years mother age twice to daughter so 2(x+10)
according to question we going....................
3x +10= 2(x+10)
3x+10=2x +20
3x-2x = 20-10
X = 10
so we present age found so daughter = 10
so mother thrice so 10 X 3 = 30
thanks for asking this question
