Question

The present age of ramans mother is three times the present age of raman. After 5 years their ages will added to 66 years. Find the present ages

Answer 1

Answer:

Present age of Raman $=14$ years

Present age of his mother $=42$ years

Step-by-step explanation:

The present age of Raman be $x$,

then his mother's age be $=3x$.

After five years the ages of Raman and his mother would be $x+5$ and $3x+5$ respectively.

Given that after five years sum of their ages would be $=66$

that is,

$x+5+3x+5=66\\\\4x+10=66\\\\4x=66-10=56\\\\x=56/4=14$

Hence present age of Raman is $14$years and thus

present age of his mother $=3(14)=42$
