How Let the age of smith age be x. We have given the mothers age 34.... Right...


After two years mother will be 36 years old...
Given that after two years mothers age is 4 times of smith

Then 36= 4x
X=9. Two. years after

Smith is 9 years old...after two years... But its mothers age before 2 years is 34..so before 2 years present age is 7 years
