Answer 2

Answer: 33 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let present age of Rohan and his mother be x and y respectively.

By question,

x=y+26....(1)

& (x+3)(y+3)=360.....(2)

Or, xy+3x+3y+9=360

Or, x(x-26)+3x+3(x-26)+9=360

Or, x^2-26x+3x+3x-78+9=360

Or, x^2-20x-429=0

Or, x^2-33x+13x-429=0

Or,x(x-33)+13(x-33)=0

Therefore x=33 &x= -13

Of the two values obtained, x= -13 is not possible because age cannot be negative.

Hence x=33 years.
