Question

The present age of Prabha's mother is times the present age
of Prabha. After 5 years their ages will add to 66 years, Find their
present ages.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, after 5 years their ages will add to 66 years. As we have taken x as the present age of Prabha earlier, so the present age of Prabha is 14 years. Therefore, the present ages of Prabha and Prabha's mother are 14 years and 42 years respectively.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let Prabha's age be x

Age of Prabha's mother be 3 x

After 5 years

Prabha's age=x+5

Prabha's mother age=3x+5

AC/Q

x+5+3x+5=66

4x+10=66

4x=10-66

4x+10=56

x=56/4=14

Prabha's age =14

Prabha's mother age =42
