Answer 1

Answer:

let hari's present age=x

then hari's mother's present age=8x

after five years,

hari's age will be (x+5) and

his mother's age will be(8x+5)

A.T.Q.

3(x+5)=(8x+5)

3x+15=8x+5

15-5=8x-3x

10=5x

10/5=x

2=x

so hari's present age =2 years

and hari's mother's present age=2x8 =16 years
