Question

shobo 's mothers present age is six times shobos present age .shobo's age five years from now will be one third of his mothers present age .what are thier present ages

Answer 1

let the present age of shobo be x

so, the present age of her mother will be 6x

age of shobo after 5 years = 5+x

A/q. 5+x = 6x/3
=> 5 + x = 2x
=> x = 5

so ,the present age of shobo = x = 5 years
" " " mother = 6x = 6*5 = 30 years

Answer 2

$<b><u><i>$Let shobo's present age = x years

His mother's present age = 6x years

After five years :

Add 5 to shobo's age => x + 5

Shobo's age will be one third of his mother's age -

The equation becomes :

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

Shobo's present age = x = 5 years

His mother's present age = 6x = 6 × 5 = 30 years
