Question

Raju's present age is one-third his mother's present age. If the mother's age was five times his age 6 years ago, what are their present ages? *​

Answer 1

Answer:

raju's age=12years and mothers age=32

Step-by-step explanation:

let's imagine that raju=x and mother=y

according to first condition

y/3=x

y=3x

3x-y=0........(1)

according to second condition

(y-6)=(x-6)5

y-6=5x-30

y-5x=-30+6

y-5x=-24

-5x+y=-24

5x-y=24.........(2)

(2)-(1)

(5x-y)-(3x-y)=24-0

5x-3x-y-(-y)=24

2x-y+y=24

2x=24

x=12

put the x in condition one

3(12)=y

36=y

y=37
