Answer 1

Answer:

Mother's age-36

Monu's age - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of his mother be x.

.

. . age of monu: 1/3 of x = 1/3x

sum = 48

ACCORDING TO QUESTION:

Mother's age + monu's age - 48

x + 1/3x = 48

4/3x = 48

4x = 48×3

4x = 144

x = 144/4

x = 36

Mother's age = 36

Monu's age= 1/3 × 36= 12(ans)
