Answer:

let the age of sahil be :x

and his mother's age be:3x

so,after five years

sahil's age is 'x+5'

and his mother's age is '3x+5'

acc.to the problem

the sum of their ages given after five years is 66

=(x+5)+(3x+5)=66

4x+10=66

4x=66-10

4x=56

x=56/4

x=14

sahil's age is x=14 so sahil's age is 14yrs

and his mother's is 3x=3×14=42 yrs
