Shobo's mother's present age is six times Shobo's present age. Shobo's age five years from now will be one third of his mother's present age. What are their present ages?

Answers

Hi ,

At present,

_________

Shobo's age = x years

His mother's age = 6 times of

Shobo's age

= 6x years

Five years from now

________________

Shobo's age = ( x + 5 ) years

According to the problem given,

x + 5 = one by third of his mother's

present age

x + 5 = 6x / 3

x + 5 = 2x

5 = 2x - x

5 = x

Therefore ,

Shobo's present age = x = 5 years

His mother's age = 6x

= 6 × 5

= 30 years

I hope this helps you.

Answer 2

Let Sahoo's present age be s.

presently :

his mother's age =6s

five years from now

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

on solving

there present age's are:

s=10/3years

mother's=6s=20years
