Question

Seetha is five times as old as her son. In two years’ time, she will be four times as old as her son. Find
their present ages.

Answer 1

Answer:

Seetha's age is 30 years and her son is 6 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Seetha's age be x years.

Let her son's age be y years.

x = 5y-------(1)

x + 2 = 4(y + 2)

x + 2 = 4y +8

substitute the value of x from (1)

5y - 4y = 8 - 2

y = 6

x = 5 x 6

x = 30
