Question

shamas age is three times the age of her son ankit . 10 years ago shamas was 5 times the age of ankit. find the present age of shamas

Answer 1

let ankit age be x

shamas age will be 3x

3x-10=5x

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the age of Ankit be x and Sharma be 3x, then;

3x - 10 = 5(x-10)

or, 3x - 10 = 5x - 50

or, 2x = 40

or, x = 20

Hence, the age of Sharma = 60 years

And age if Ankit = 20 years
