Question

Mrs Trivedi is three times her son's age. After four years she will be 22 years elder to her son. Find the present ages of Mrs Trivedi and her son.

Answer 1

Let Son's present age = x
So, Mrs.Trivedi's present age = 3x
after four years
Son's age = x+4
Mrs Trivedi's age = 3x+4
According to question,
3x+4 = (x+4)+22
3x+4 = x+26
3x-x=26-4
2x=22
x=11
Therefore, son's present age is 11years
ans Mrs Trivedi's age = 3*11=33 years

Answer 2

Answer:

According to the question,

Step-by-step explanation:

Let son's present age be 3x

So, Mrs Trivedi present age be 3x

Trivedi's age be 3x + 4

3x+4=(x+4)+22

3x+4=x+26

3x--x=26-4

2x=22

x=11

Thus, son's present age is just 11 years and Mrs Trivedi's age =33 years

3*11=33 years
