Answer 1

Answer:

shahoos age : 5 ; Mothers age : 30

Step-by-step explanation:

let the present ages of shahoo and his mother be s,m respectively,

then,

m = 6s -----1

s + 5 = (1/3) (m) ---- 2

=> s +5 = (1/3)(6s)

=> 3s+15 = 6s

=> 6s-3s = 15

=> 3s = 15

=> s = 5

=> m = 6*5 = 30

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) let sahoo's age be x so sahoo's mom's age is 6times sahoo's age therefore 6x

2) after 5 years his mother's age will be 6x+5 and sahoo's age will be 1/3of 6x so by equating this we get:6x+5=1/3 × 6x

6x +5= 2x

6x-2x=-5

4x=5
