Question

The present age of Sahil's mother is three time the present age of Sahil. After 5 years their ages will add to 66 years. The present age of Sahil is ​

Answer 1

Given

• Present age of Sahil's Mother = There times the present age of Sahil
• After 5 Years later the sum of their ages is 66 years

To Find

• Present age of Sahil

Solution

☯ Assuming the present age of Sahil as x and the present age of his mother as 3x

After 5 Years

• Age of Sahil = x+5
• Age of his Mother = 3x+5

✭ According to the Question :

→ (x+5) + (3x+5) = 66

→ x + 5 + 3x + 5 = 66

→ 4x + 10 = 66

→ 4x = 66-10

→ 4x = 56

→ x = 56/4

→ x = 14

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Therefore,

● Present age of Sahil = x = 14 years

● Present age of his mother = 3x = 3×14 = 42 years

∴ Present age of Sahil is 14 years

Answer 2

$\huge\star{\underline{\mathtt{\red{A}\pink{N}\green{S}\blue{W}\purple{E}\orange{R}}}}\star$

Let present age of Sahil be x

Let present age of Sahil's mother be y

$\large \mapsto \boxed{ \sf \red{Given}}$

The present age of Sahil's mother is three times the present age of Sahil.

So,

y = 3x ------------------- Equation1

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,

$x + 5 + y + 5 = 66$

$x + y + 10 = 66$

$x + y = 66 - 10$

$x + y = 56$ ------------ Equation2

From equation 1 and 2,

$x + 3x = 56$

$4x = 56$

$x = 14 \: years$

Hence, Present age of Sahil =14 years

Hope It Helps!! :)
