Step-by-step explanation:
Let the age of Reema be x.
Hence the age of Reema's mother will be 4x.
After 5 years their ages will be (x+5) and (4x+5).
According to Question:
=> 3(x+5)=4x+5
=> 3x+15=4x+5
=> 3x-4x=5-15
=> -x=(-10)
=> x=10
So present age of Reema is 10 years.
Her mother's age is 4×10 = 40 years.
Hope you got it. And it helps you. Please mark this as brainliest and give thanks.

Answer:
Age of Reema = 10 years
Age of Reema's mother = 40 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the present age of Reema be x years and her mother's present age be 4x years.
Then,
After 5 years:
Reema age = (x+5) years
Reema's mother age = (4x+5) years
A/q
4x+5 = 3(x+5)
4x+5 = 3x+15
4x-3x = 15-5
x = 10
Hence, age of Reema = x years = 10 years
and age of Reema's mother = 4x years = (4×10)years = 40 years
