Sinita is three timesas old as her son is now .if eight years ago she was five times her so age . Find her present age ?

|| ✰✰ ANSWER ✰✰ ||

Lets assume That, Present age of sinita is X years.

Than, Her son is = 3x years old.

Now,

8 years ago Sinita was = (x - 8) years old .

→ her son was = (3x - 8) years old.

now , given That , eight years ago she was five times her so age .

So,

(x - 8) = 5(3x - 8)

→ x - 8 = 15x - 40

→ 15x - x = 40 - 8

→ 14x = 32

→ x = (32/14) years = (16/7) years = 2(2/7) years.

Hence, Present age of sinita is 2(2/7) years.
