Answer 1

Answer:

Given :-

Sohan`s mother is five times as old sohan.if sum of there age is 48 year

To Find :-

Age of mother and Sohan

Solution :-

Let the age of Sohan be x

Age of his mother = 5x

$\dashrightarrow{ \boxed{ \rm \: 5x + x = 48}}$

$\sf \dashrightarrow { \boxed{ \rm \: 6x = 48}}$

$\dashrightarrow{ \boxed{ \rm \: x = \dfrac{48}{6}}}$

${ \mathfrak{ x= 8}}$

Age of Sohan = 8 years

Age of Mother = 5(8) = 40 years

Answer 2

Answer:

Sohan = 8 years

His mother = 40 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

Sohan's mother is five times as old Sohan

Sum of both (Sohan and mother) age = 48 years

To find -

Ages of Sohan and his mother

Solution -

Let us consider Sohan's age as x

so his mother's age = 5×x = 5x

Sum of both ages = 48

=> 5x + x = 48

=> 6x = 48

=> x = 48/6

=> x = 8

Hence Sohan's age = 8 years

and his mother's age = 5x = 5×8 = 40 years

Sum of Both ages = 48 and mother's age is five times Sohan, hence our answer is correct.
