Question

Rakhi’s mother is 4 times as old as Rakhi. After 5 years her mother will be 3 times as old as she will be then. Find their present ages.

Answer 1

Let present age of Rakhi= x years

= Present age of Mother= 4x

5 years later

Age of Rakhi=(x+5)

Age of Mother=(4x+5)

ATQ (According to Question)

(4x+5)= 3(x+5)

4x+5 = 3x+15

4x-3x = 15-5

x = 10

Hence, the present age of Rakhi = 10

the present age of Mother = 4x = 4*10=40 (multiply)

hope it helped u !!☺☺

Answer 2

let the present age of Rakhi be x
so the present age of her mom is 4x

Age of Rakhi after 5 years =x+5
Age of her mother after 5 years=4x +5



According to the question . After 5years her mother will be 3 times as old as she will be then .
so the equation is
4x+5=3(x + 5)
hence x =10 ...


present age of Rakhi =x =10 years
present age of her mother = 4x =40years
