Answer 2

Answer :-

• Ravi's age is 5 years.
• Ravi's mother's age is 25 years.

To find :-

• The present ages of Ravi and his mother.

Solution :-

• Let's use the information given to us for forming an equation and solve it to get our answer!

Let :-

• The present age of Ravi be "x" years.

It has been given that :-

• Ravi's mother's present age is five times the present age of Ravi.

Therefore,

• Her present age will be "5x" years.

After 7 years :-

• Ravi's age will be "x + 7" years.
• Ravi's mother's age will be "5x + 7" years.

Now, it has been given that :-

• After seven years, the ages of Ravi and his mother will add up to 44.

Hence :-

$\sf \longmapsto(x + 7) + (5x + 7) = 44$

$\sf \longmapsto x + 7 + 5x + 7 = 44$

$\sf\longmapsto6x + 7 + 7 = 44$

$\sf \longmapsto6x + 14 = 44$

$\sf\longmapsto6x = 44 - 14$

$\sf \longmapsto6x = 30$

$\sf\longmapsto x = \dfrac{30}{6}$

$\longmapsto \underline{ \boxed{\sf x = 5}}$

----------------------------------------------

Hence, their present ages are :-

$\rm Ravi's \: age = x = 5 \: years.$

$\rm His \: mother's \: age = 5x = 5 \times 5 = 25 \: years.$
