5 years & 30 years
Question states that Neelam's mother's present age is 6 times Neelam's present age. Neelam's age 5 years from now will be the ⅓ of her mother's present age. & we're asked to calculate their present ages. We've:
Neelam's mother's present age is 6 times the Neelam's present age.
Neelam's age 5 years from now will be the ⅓ of her mother's present age.
Let's say, that the Neelam's age be x and her mother's age be 6x.
» 5 years from now,
⠀⠀⠀⠀⌑ Neelam's age = (x + 5)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⌑ Her mother's age = (6x + 5)

• A s P e r Q u e s t i o n :
Neelam's age 5 years from now will be the ⅓ of her mother's present age. Writing it in a Linear equation:
⠀⠀
⠀⠀━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Therefore,
Neelam's age, x = 5 years
Neelam's mother's age, 6x = 6(5) = 30 years
⠀
❝ Hence, the present age of Neelam and her mother are 5 years and 30 years. ❞
