Answer 1

Let sarah as age be x
And her mother age be 27 +×
So according to the question 2x +27 =47
So by solving it we come to know sarah age as 10 and her mothers age is 37 at present hope it helps you :)

Answer 2

Sol : Let the age of Rashi is x .
 
        So, age of Rashi's father ( Mr. Shah ) = x + 27 years.


According to question ,

Rashi's age + Mr. Sha's age = 47 years

x + x + 27 years = 47 years

2 x = 47 years - 27 years

2 x = 20 years

x = 20 years / 2 = 10 years.

Age of Rashi = x = 10 years .

Age of Mr.Shah = ( x + 27 years ) = 10 years + 27 years = 37 years.
