Question

Shoe mother present age is six times sahoo present age .Five year from now Sahoo age will be one -third of his mother age .Find their current age .

Answer 1

let the shoe mother present age is x years
sahoo present age is y years
from the statement x=6y
x-6y= 0 eq1
x+5=3(y+5)
x+5-3y-15=0
x-3y=10 eq2
now to solve these equation ,eq3 is multiplied with 2 and subtract both equations
x-6y=0
2x-6y=20
-x=-20
x= 20 years
from equation 20-3y=10
-3y=-10
y=10/3 years
