Answer 1

Answer:

• The present age of shobo is 5 years.
• The present age of her mother is 30 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• The present age of shobo's mother is 6 times shobo's present age.
• After 5 years, shobo's age will be one third of his mother's present age.

Need to find:

• Present age of shobo.
• Present age of shobo's mother.

Explanation:

Let shobo's present age be x years.

Therefore,

According to question

Shobo's mother present age = 6x.

After 5 years,

Shobo's age = x+5

According to question

=> x+5 = 1/3 of 6x

=> x+5 = 1/3 of 6x

=> x+5 = 2x

=> 2x-x = 5

=> x = 5

Putting value of x in the considered ages,

We get:

Shobo's present age = x

=> 5 years

Shobo's mother present age = 6x

=> 6×5 yrs

=> 30 years

Hence,

The present age of shobo is 5 yearsand the present age of her mother is 30 years

Answer 2

Let Shambo's age be X

and Shambo's morher age be 6X

accroding to question,

$= > \frac{x + 5}{6x + 5} = \frac{1}{3} \\ = > 3(x + 5) = 6x + 5 \\ = > 3x + 15 = 6x + 5 \\ = > 15 - 5 = 6x - 3x \\ = > 10 = 3x \\ = > x = \frac{10}{3}$

now shambo's age = 10/3 years

and mothers age will be 10/3 ×6 = 20 years
