Answer 1

I think this is the right answer Mira's age 10yrs
and Mira's mother's age 40 yrs

Answer 2

Answer :

The present age of her mother is 40 years

Step-by-step explanation :

Let the present age of Mira be ' x '

According to question,

Mira's mother is 4 times the age of Mira

So,

Age of mother = x * 4 = 4x

After 5 years, both the ages will increment by 5 years

Age of Mira = ( x + 5 )

Age of mother = ( 4x + 5 )

Given,

5 years later her mother's age will be 3 times that of Mira' s age

So,

( 4x + 5 ) = 3 ( x + 5 )

4x + 5 = 3x + 15

4x - 3x = 15 - 5

x = 10

So,

The age of Mira is 10 years

And age of mother will be (4 * x) = 4 * 10 = 40 years

Hence,

The present age of her mother is 40 years
