the present age of sahil's mother is four times the press age of sahil. After 5 years their ages will add to 85 years. find the present age of mother
Answers
Let present age of Sahil =x years
Let present age of Sahil's mother =y years
The present age of Sahil's mother is three times the present age of Sahil.
So,
y=3x ......... (1)
After 5 years their ages add to 66 years.
After 5 years Sahil age =x+5
After 5 years Sahil's mother age =y+5
Now,
x+5+y+5=66
x+y+10=66
x+y=66−10
x+y=56 ......... (2)
From (1) and (2),
x+3x=56
4x=56
x=14 years
From (1),
y=3x
=3(14)
=42 years
present age of Sahil =14 years
present age of Sahil's mother =42 years
The present age of Sahil’s mother is three times the present age of Sahil. After 5 years their ages will add to 66 years. Find their present ages.
Assume present age of sahil be x
Present age of his mother will be 3x
after 5 years
sahil age=x+5
his mothers age =3x+5.
According to question
(x+5)+(3x+5)=66
4x+10=66
4x=56
x=14
sahil present age=14 years
his mother present age= 42 years.
