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.

Lets the present age of sinita be x years.
And her son is be 3x years.
8 years ago
Sinita's Age = (x - 8) years old .
Her son's Age = (3x - 8) years old.

⇒ x - 8 = 15x - 40
⇒ 15x - x = 40 - 8
⇒ 14x = 32
⇒ x = (32/14) years
⇒ x = (16/7) years
⇒ x = 2(2/7) years
