Answers
Answer: Let the present age of sahil be x.
Let the present age of sahil's mother be 3x.
After 5 years.....
Sahil's age = x+5
Sahil mother's age = 3x+5...
Their age adds to 66 years......
x+5+3x+5 = 66
4x + 10 = 66
4x = 66-10
4x= 56
x= 56/4
Therefore , x= 14....
Therefore , sahil's present age is 14..
Sahil mother's present age = 14×3 = 42...

Step-by-step explanation:
Let present age of Sahil= x years
Present age of Sahil's mother=3x years
Sahil's age after 5 years=x+5 years
The age of the mother of Sahil after 5 year=3x+5 years
Sum of their ages after 5 years= 4x+10
4x+10=66
4x=66-10
x=56/4
x=14
Present age of Sahil=14 years
Present age of Sahil's mother=14*3=42 years
Sahil's age after 5 years=14+5=19 years
The age of Sahil's mother after 5 years=42+5=47 years
14+47=66 years
