PRESENT AGES
Let the present age of Rakhi be x years. 
Present age of Rakhi's mother is 4x years. 

AFTER 5 YEARS
Age of Rakhi = (x+5) years
Age of Rakhi's mother = (4x+5) years

SOLVING YOUR QUESTION
ATQ (According To Question)
(4x+5) = 3(x+5)     [Solve for x in the equation. ]
4x+5 = 3x+15
4x-3x = 15-5     [Transposing 3x to LHS and 5 to RHS. ]
x = 10

FINDING THEIR PRESENT AGES
Present age of Rakhi = x years = 10 years
Present age of Rakhi's mother = 4x years = (4×10) years = 40 years

∴ The present age of Rakhi is 10 years and that of her mother is 40 years. 

Hope this may help you.
