Question

Shobo’s mother’s present age is six times Shobo’s present age. Shobo’s age five
years from now will be one third of his mother’s present age. What are their
present ages?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi ,

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.
