Question

Riyaz's mother is seven times older than
him. Four years from now, she will be
four times as old as Riyaz will then be.
What are their present ages?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the present age of Riyaz be x.

Present age of his mother = 7x

According to Question,

7x+4 = 4(x+4)

=> 7x+4 = 4x+16

=> 7x-4x = 16-4

=> 3x = 12

=> x = 4

Hence, age of Riyaz = 4 years

Age of his mother = 28 years
