Shobh's mother's present age is six times shobh's present age. Shobh's age five yearsfrom now will be one-third of his mother 's present age. What are their present ages?
​

Answer 1

,,

At present,

_________

Shobo's age = x years

His mother's age = 6 times of

Shobo's age

= 6x years

Five years from now

________________

Shobo's age = ( x + 5 ) years

According to the problem given,

x + 5 = one by third of his mother's

present age

x + 5 = 6x / 3

x + 5 = 2x

5 = 2x - x

5 = x

Therefore ,

Shobo's present age = x = 5 years

His mother's age = 6x

= 6 × 5

= 30 years

I hope this helps you.

Answer 2

$\huge\mathfrak\red{answer}$

___________________________________

Let shobh's present age be x

Shobh's mother's age = 6x

According to the question :

$x + 5 = \frac{1}{3} \times 6x \\ \\ x + 5 = 2x \\ \\ 2x - x = 5 \\ \\ x = 5$

Therefore Shobh's age = 5 yrs

Shobh's mother's age = 6 × 5

= 30yrs
