Question

The present age of ramu's mother is 3 times the present age of ramu. After 5 Years their ages will add to 66 years. find their present age..​

Answer 1

Answer:

14,42

Step-by-step explanation:

let ramu's age be x,

then mother's age=3x

After 5 years,

ramu's age= x+5

mother's age=3x+5

sum=66

x+5+3x+5=66

4x+10=66

4x=56

x=14

therefore, Ramu's age=14

Mother's age= 3*14=42

Answer 2

Solution:

Given that present age of Ramu's mother is 3 times the present age of ramu.

Let present age of ramu be x years.

∴ Present age of his mother = 3x

After 5 years,

• Age of ramu = x + 5
• Age of Ramu's mother = 3x + 5

It is also given that, after 5 years sum of their ages will be 66 years.

So, according to question,

→ (x + 5) + (3x + 5) = 66

→ x + 5 + 3x + 5 = 66

→ 4x + 10 = 66

→ 4x = 66 - 10

→ 4x = 56

→ x = 56/4

→ x = 14

Hence, present age of Ramu is 14 years.

Now,

Age of mother = 3x

→ Age of mother = 3 × 14

→ Age of mother = 42

Hence, present age of Ramu's mother is 42 years.
