Answer 1

Explanation:

✬ Shobo's Age = 5 Years ✬

✬ Shobo's Age = 5 Years ✬✬ Mother's Age = 30 Years ✬

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Mother's age is 6 times the present age of Shobo.
• Mother's age is 6 times the present age of Shobo.After 5 years , Shobo's age will be one third of mother's age.

To Find:

What are their present ages ?

Solution: Let the present age of Shobo is x years. Therefore,

➙ Mother's age = 6 times of x

➙ Mother's age = 6x years

[ After 5 years ]

Shobo's age = (x + 5) years

Now , A/q

⟹ (x + 5) = 1/3 × 6x

⟹ (x + 5) = 2x

⟹ 5 = 2x – x

⟹ 5 = x

So , present age of Shobo is 5 years & present age of Shobo's mother is 6(5) = 30 years.
