Question

The age of minnu's mother is nine times that of minnu.After nine years,it would be three times.What are there ages now?

Answer 1

Answer:

27 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of minnu be x

Now, Minnu's mother's age would be 9x

Now after 9 year, her age would be 3 times of minnu's age

According to question, The Equation would be:

=> 9x+9=3(9+x)

=> 9x+9=27+3x

=> 9x-3x=27-9

=>6x=18

=>x=18/6

=>x=3

Minnu's age is 3

So, Her mother's age = 9×3=27

Minnu's mother's age is 27 years

So after 9 years,

Minnu's age = (3+9)=12 yrs

Her Mother's age = (27+9)=36 yrs
