Shahbaz mother's present age 6 times
present age of boys.
5 years from now will be one third of his
mother present age.
TO FIND THEIR PRESENT AGE.
According to the question,
Let the present age of shahbaz = x years.
Let present age of mother = 6x years.
5 years from now,
Age of shahbaz = x + 5 years.
one third of his mother age.
=> x + 5 = 6x/3
=> x + 5 = 2x
=> x = 5
Therefore,
Shahbaz present age = 5 years.
mother present age = 6(5) = 30 years.
Correct Question:
Shahbaz mothers present age is 6 times the present ageof boy. 5 years from now he will be one third of his mothers present age what are their present ages
Answer:
Age of Shahbaz = 5 years and Age of mother = 30 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that the present age of Shahbaz is x years.
His mother's age is 6 times of his age. Means the age of the mother is 6x years.
5 years from now:
- Age of Shahbaz = (x + 5) years
As per given condition,
→ x + 5 = 1/3 (6x)
→ 3(x + 5) = 6x
→ 3x + 15 = 6x
→ 3x = 15
→ x = 5
Age of mother = 6(5) = 30 years
Hence, the age of Shahbaz is 5 years and age mother is 30 years.
