Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:-
Sahu mothers present age is six times Sahu present age five years from now sahu's age will be one third of his mother's age .
To find:-
find their current age.
Solution:-
Let the present age of sahu be X years
His mother's age=Six times the age of Sahu
=>6X years
After 5 years Sahu's age=X+5 years
His mother's age after 5 years = 6X+5 years
according to the given problem,
five years from now sahu's age will be one third of his mother's age .
=>X+5=(6X+5)/3
=>3(X+5)=6X+5
=>3X+15=6X+5
=>6X-3X=15-5
=>3X=10
=>X=10/3 years
Sahu's age=10/3 years
His mother's age=6(10/3)=20 years
Answer:-
Sahu's present age= 10/3 years
His Mother's age =20 years
Check:-
After 5 years
five years from now sahu's age will be one third of his mother's age .
=>(10/3)+5=(10+15)/3=25/3 years
After 5 years his mother's age=20+5=25 years
His age =1/3 of his mother's age
=>25/3 years
