Question

Reema's mother is four times as old as Reema. After 5 years her mother will be 3 times as old as she will be

Answer 1

Answer:

10 and 40

Step-by-step explanation:

 Let the present age of Reema be a and therefore her mother's age should be 4a.

After 5 years :

    Age of Reema = a + 5

   Age of her mother = 4a + 5

According to question : after 5 years

⇒ age of mother = 3 * age of Reema

⇒ 4a + 5 = 3( a + 5 )

⇒ 4a + 5 = 3a + 15

⇒ 4a - 3a = 15 - 5

⇒ a = 10

     Hence,

Present age of Reema = a = 10

Present age of her mother = 4a = 40
