Question

suman's mother is four times as old as suman. After five years, her mother will be three times as old as she will be then. Find their present ages.

Answer 1

Let Suman's age be x years.
Then, her mother's age will be 4x years.

After 5 years,
Suman will be (x+5) years.
Her mother will be (4x+5) years.

According to question, the equation formed is
3(x+5) = (4x+5)
On solving the equation, you will get x as 10.

Hence, their present ages are 10 and 40 years.
