Answer 1

CORRECT QUESTION.

Rekha mother is five times as old as her

daughter rekha. five years later, rekha mother

will be three times as old as her daughter

rekha. find the present age of rekha and her

mother age.

EXPLANATION.

Let the rekha age will be = x years.

Let the age of rekha mother = y years.

=> y = 5x ......(1)

After five years,

=> y + 5 = 3 ( x + 5 )

=> y + 5 = 3x + 15

=> y - 3x = 10 .....(2)

From equation (1) and (2) we get,

put the value of y in equation (2)

we get,

=> 5x - 3x = 10

=> 2x = 10

=> x = 5

put the value of x = 5 in equation (1)

we get,

=> y = 5 X 5 = 25

Hence,

Rekha age = 5 years.

Rekha mother age = 25 years.
