Question

The present age of sahil'motheris three times the present age of sahil. After 5 years their ages will add to 66 years. Find the present age?

Answer 1

Let present age of sahil = x
Present age of sahil's mother = 3x




After 5 years,


Sum of their ages = 66

(x + 5) + (3x + 5) = 66

x + 5 + 3x + 5 = 66

4x + 10 = 66

4x = 66 - 10

4x = 56

x = 56/4

x = 14



Present age of sahil = 14 years
Present age of sahil's mother = 3(14) = 42 years

Answer 2

hey ur ans is here..
now the present age of sahil is 19..
if u ask how then it's simple....

before 5 years the sahil age was 14 and the mother age was 42 ok.
after 5 years ..the sahil age is 19 and mother age is 47.
hence 47 + 19= 66.
