Answer 1

QUESTION:-

Nman's mother's present age is six times Nman's present age.Nman's age five year from now will be the one third of her mother's present age. What are their age

EXPLANATION:-

Let the age of Nman=x

and her mothers age= 6x

5 years from now:-

Nman=x+5 years

Mother=6x+5

Nman's age 5 years from now will be the ⅓ of her mother's present age. So let's form a linear equation:-

Nman age=1/3×Mother age

Putting values:-

x+5=1/3×6x

x=5=2x

x=5

So,

Nman age=5 years

mother=6(5)

=>30 years
