let the present age of mother=x
---------------------------------shikhar=y
A/Q
x=4y
x-4y=0.......[1]
After 5 yrs.
x+5=y+5
x+5=3(y+5)
x+5=3y+15
x-3y=10..........[2]
On solving eq. 1 and 2
y=10 x=40
So age of mother is 40 years
and age of son is 10 years

Let the present age of Shikhar be x years
So, the present age of his Mother be 4x years
After 5-years -
Shikhar's age = (x + 5) years
His Mother's age = (4x + 5) years
According to Question,
(4x + 5) = 3(x + 5)
⇒ 4x + 5 = 3x + 15
⇒ 4x - 3x = 15 - 5
⇒ x = 10
Required Ages -
Shikhar's age = x = 10 years
His Mother's age = 4x = 4(10) = 40 years
Hence, the present age of Shikhar is 10 years and his mother's present age is 40 years
