Question

Reshma's mother is four times as old as Reshma. After 5 years, her mother will be three times as old as she will be then. What are their present ages?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let present age of Rakhi = x years

Present age of Mother = 4x

5 years later

Age of Rakhi =x+5

Ag of Mother =4x+5

Given 4x+5=3(x+5)

4x−3x=15−5

⇒x=10

Mother's age =4x=40 years
