Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Let Renu's present age is = x years

Then her mother's present age is = 4x years

After 5 years , Renu's age will be

x+5 years

After 5 years , her mother's age will be

4x + 5 years

By given condition

4x +5

=3(x+5)

or 4x−3x=15−5

or x=10;

4x=4×10=40

.

Therefore, Renu's present age is

10

years and her mother's present age is

40

years. [ans]
