Answer 2

Let us assume, Rakhi's mother age is x years and Rakhi's age is y years.

Given:

x = 4y ------------1

Also given, after 5 years,

x + 5 = 3 (y + 5)
x + 5 = 3y + 15
x - 3y = 10 -------------2

Substitute the value of x from equation 1 in equation 2

4y - 3y = 10
y = 10 years

Therefore, x = 4y = 4*10 = 40 years.

Rakhi's Mother's age is = 40 years and Rakhi's age = 10 years.
