Question

Priya's mother's present age is six times Priya's present age. Priya's age five years from now
will be one third of her mother's present age. What are their present ages?​

Answer 1

Answer:

mother's :84

Priya's :36

Answer 2

Answer:

Priya's present age = 5

Priya's mother's present age = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Priya's present age be 'x'

Priya's mother's present age is 6x

Priya's age after five years = x + 5 - eq ①

Also give that,

Priya's age is 1/3*6x

                    = 2x - eq②

Lets equate eq① and eq②

=> x+5 = 2x

=> 5 = 2x-x

=> 5 = x

Therefore,

Priya's present age = 5 years

Priya's mother's present age = 6x

                                                = 6*5

                                                = 30 years
